    I like WileyX and Oakley as they both provide ballistic protection but don’t look like shooting glasses, so I can wear them anywhere. For those of us with prescription classes there are a number of places online that will make lens for WileyX and Oakley frames; full lens or bifocal with the prescription at top, middle, or bottom of the lens to suit your shooting style. In any case, ditch the cheap safety glasses. Will they protect? Yes, but they are garbage compared to the clarity of a good pair of shooting glasses.

    OK so.... I like my glasses against my face. I don't like them out away from my face more towards the bridge of my nose. What you get when you were your glasses like this is smudge, dirt and sweat from your eye brows on the lens. I like Oakley M frames because there is distance between the lens and my face. The frame is up against my face but not the lens.

    I like these http://www.oakleysi.com/Root/Eyewear/Ballistic/SI-Ballistic-M-Frame-3-0/p/700285606767

    Ok so let me add this... I have 2 targets set up. 600yrds & 800yrds. I have solar lights set up on them and shoot at night. Up to this point... I've been shooting without glasses. Anyone have experience at long range night shooting? I guess there are no problems that arise with glare or anything of that nature?

    I would love to get into a set of fully-adjustable glasses where you can mix and match the parts you want and put each lens exactly where you want it, but they are not about full-coverage safety and run into the $300-500 range.
    I have Knoblochs. They are utterly wonderful.

    They're also designed for shooting sports where eye protection is optional under the rules; they provide zero safety.

    I need glasses that fit over glasses. I have a hard time finding something that actually works and is comfortable.
    I find "works", "comfortable", and "fit over glasses" to be mutually exclusive. I hope someone proves me wrong.

    I bought the Wiley x, saber glasses.
    Clear, smoke, rust tint lenses.
    Looks like very good lenses with no distortion .
    It'll be a while before I get behind a scope, but I'm going to wear them this week at work. So far the fit is pretty good. A little snug on the earpieces, but not uncomfortable .
