I went to my eye doctor at grene vision and told him what I needed. So now my regular glasses are good everyday stuff and shooting.

I have prescription WileyX SG-1's from optics planet. They're my everyday sunglasses and have ballistic lenses.

I'm thinking I'll get Oakley frames, but is there anything I need to look out for or ask for to make sure the lenses will be adequate for protection? Will all Oakley lenses provide the needed protection?

Someone on this forum said they had heard from Oakley that their perscription lenses do NOT meet the ballistic standards as their regular lenses. I don't know how true that is, but perhaps you should call them first. I just use a pair of their SI Ballistic M Frames.

I have two sets I just got used. I was sold when I saw the vid of them shooting the glasses with a shotty. |

Tell your eye doctor, the ones I have supposedly will stop 12ga birdshot close-range. They had a cool video and everything
 Tinting was an option but I don't like tint.An eye doctor I met later said I overpaid like hell at $300 for the lenses (6 years ago?), said there were much cheaper options. Most optometrists are worse than used car salesmen. Another option might be to get the ballistic lenses and various clip-on tinted lenses so you can wear them every day. Last time I looked (a long time ago), I liked the RayBan Caravan frames since there were several (5-6?) different non-dorky clip-on lenses available. There are probably more styles by now. Been using the same frame/lenses for all this time, probably way overdue for new ones so TAG. |

The last time I had to get a new prescription for glasses, I had them make a pair of safety glasses, (ansi approved) with side shields. That's what I use for shooting.
