Question about safety glasses.

[ccomstock001]

As someone who has prescription glasses what are some good recommended safety glasses. I have looked around at a few places but haven't found any that fit over glasses.

Most safety supply shops, etc. have safety glasses that fit over regular eyeglasses.

I just had a specific pair made for work / shooting, etc. Every pair of prescription eyeglasses I own have 'safety' lenses, just not side shields.

In the construction industry as long as you have safety lenses in them you just have to have side shields on them to be considered safe. If it works on a job site it works at the range IMO.

Here is an image for reference:

Uvex makes some nice ones, or so I've heard.

Didn't know you could get safety lenses in regular frames. I'll have to look into that at my next appointment.

I actually worked a factory once where they told me I didn't have to wear safety glasses because I wore glasses.

The plant I work in, that's their policy as well. If they're safety lenses (polycarbonate), you just have to snap on some side shields, and you're good to go.

They aren't pretty but they will get the job done. And they're cheap.

This. As long as your lenses are made from polycarbonate the lenses are 'safety rated'. If you want to go fully monty, get a frame that is safety rated also. I've used the polycarbonate lenses for many years. Have had shell cases bounce off them without a problem.
Luckily I haven't had to test them against anything stouter.

My father has a pair of Oakley safety glasses that he likes which are prescription. They are expensive but nice.

Has anyone ever had difficulty with their shooting glasses fogging up?

I have a pair that are fine if I wear inside. If I go outside while it's cold to shoot or hunt, I have trouble with my glasses fogging.

I will trade you. Mine fog up inside but are fine outside.

You guys need to get some Zooke Anti-fog Spray. That stuff is amazing. I use it on my motorcycle helmet face shield in cold weather and it will not fog.

THIS! I have a brand new pair of their Suppressor frames. AMAZING glasses. and they have prescription inserts that will go behind the impact resistant lens. So you can get the script frames, get them made by your eye doc, then be able to change to any protective lens you want that day whether you are in the indoor range or out in the sun.

Ah, yeah I've got polycarbonate. I didn't know it was considered safety rated.

I can't help you on where to get a pair, my employer paid for mine which is seamless bi-focal.

from what I read high index lenses more than 3mm qualify as safety.

I wear Rx glasses and don't wear any kind of safety glasses over them. If I practice at the range, why wear glasses over glasses. I've had some brass eject at my face but I ignore it and keep shooting. It's bad enough I have to wear ear protectors that are pretty tight and can alter the way my glasses fit. I'm looking into ear plugs but haven't tried any yet. Also, if you OC or CC, are you going to carry/wear your safety glasses?

I thought you had to if you went to most ranges. I have only been to one that is shoot at your own risk but have been looking at going to an indoor range as the weather gets cooler
