Hi,

I have prescription glasses and at ranges they say that's good enough, but I'd feel more comfortable with something that rides closer to my noggin becuase there's still a lot of room lead fragments can fly back and hit my eyeballs.

But at the moment are there eye protection gear that allows me to wear my glasses until I get contacts? I'd feel a lot more comfortable with something that rides closer. Something like Chem 101 goggles but they seem to ruin your peripheral vision.

A couple of the Shooting Glasses mfgs like WileyX and Gargoyles make an insert kit you can buy. It costs around $25. You just take it to your local optician and they can have the lab grind the inserts to your prescription. Then you snap these into the frame of your shooting glasses. Dillon stocks the Gargoyles kit in their catalog. Just check around some of the shooters supply sites on the net.

Bolle' offers a "tactical" line of their famous sportsglasses, and they can fill any prescription directly to their 8-base designs...no inserts, full wraparound coverage, at a hunnert a pop I wish I could afford them...check their website, there is nothing like Bolle' shooting glasses...

The Bolle' website is

Oakley also have Rx inserts for most of their line of eyewear. However, they are expensive.

If yuo don't mind looking a little like a "bug-eye" from outer space, any good auto parts store should have a pair of safety glasses for air conditioning work, etc. These are a one piece affair with elastic strap that are big enough to go over your regular prescription glasses, and are not that expensive. Should work well, for low cost, until you get contacts.
