Gargoyles makes an adapter for their full sized safety glasses that works very well. I took them to my Optometrist and he made me a special prescription for shooting iron sights. ETA: Unless your insurance covers it like mine does you're probably still looking at around $200 though, if not more. |

OK, time to save up for Wiley X SG-1 goggles then.
That and a ammo stockpile, reduced recoil buffer, SOPMOD stock, chrome silica buffer spring and D-fender. Damn this hobby is EXPENSIVE! |

Oakly does Rx glasses and is better than the Wiley.

i too have the same problem the only thing that helps me is rolling my head back as much as possible (position dependent). in the prone, there isn't much you can do (if you even shoot in the prone -- we have to).

Oakley has some cool products out there but I like WileyX.

I've got 2 pair of SG-1s, and while I like them, they fog a little too easy for my liking.

You got through Black Mesa and City 17, and you're just now looking for more eye protection??

Try contacts.
Second always wear eye and ear protection when shooting. If that 50,000 PSI round goes bad you wont loose any eye. |

heh.
I have glasses with really narrow lenses (in the vertical dimension). They SUCK ASS for shooting rifles. I ended up digging out my old Army birth-control glasses, which work pretty well. If you have trouble with fog, buff some shaving cream onto the lenses with a dry cloth until they're clear -- that will prevent most fogging unless the lenses get wet/washed off. |

One word: LASIK
Then a world of eye protection options open up without worrying about the prescription issue. |

Roger that. I have worn contacts for shooting for years (with eye protection), but lately, I've developed an intollerance for contacts. Started wearing my glasses for shooting, but it was a PITA, for the same reasons mentioned above. Going in for LASIK on Oct 13. CAn't wait to try shooting after that. |

Contacts or Corneal Molding. The Corneal Molding are hard contacts you wear only at night. During the day your vision is perfect. Mine is 20/15 for two days in a row before I have to sleep with them again. Cost: $1000 from your optometrist.
