I'm in the market. Need prescription lenses. My last pair bought 2013, "Switch", real nice, but they fell apart over the years. I had yellow lenses that were great at dark 30 or no sun, then switch out dark lenses when sun came out. The lenses were held in with magnets, so they pull out real easy, and new lenses just get them close and they sucked right in. But they way they fell apart, I'm not getting them again, only a one year warranty.

So what you guys use, how you like them?

I just got glasses last year, Tri Focals.. What a difference they made on my shooting skills for Dove,Duck and Crane Season.. I can actually see the shot cup hit the birds again and watch birds flying way out far again..

Also, interested to see what type of Prescription Shooting glasses folks recommend in here?? I am gonna try my Walmart Eye Center Prescription Sunglasses in Amber this season. They have Nikon lenses and cost more than a new decent pump shot gun. Hope they work, eye protection is a big deal for wing shooting. I did notice that my regular eye glasses fogged up like crazy when the weather got cold. May try contacts this winter... Oh the challenges of middle aged hunting... lol!

I use Cocoons fit overs on my regular prescription glasses. They work great and come in any size and many different colors.

If you want to go big time look at Pila: https://pillasport.com/pages/shooting

I know several guys at the gun club that swear by them.

If your eyes are that bad you probably need to quit shooting ---- just bring beer for the rest of the hunters and enjoy the camaraderie.
