Lenses for shooting glasses?

Who do you use for lenses for your glasses?

My prescription glasses all have Nikon glass.

I had my regular optometrist to make lenses for my Knoblock shooting glasses. I had about 6 different lenses for my right eye.

I used my regular eye doctor, but I have gone to Decots. Better eye protection and I can see better.

Most likely your optometrist can order the lenses. They will probably want the lens holders to send to the grinding lab.

Getting the correct prescription is somewhat trial and error. The shooting glasses sit farther from your face and that effects the correction you need to be able to keep the front sight in good focus.

I am near sighted and I need less correction in my shooting glasses. My normal right eye prescription is -3.25 and my shooting lens is -2.75. I have just ordered a -2.50 because I think I need a little less.

Not sure what the difference might be for far sighted eyes.

+1 on the Decots. I had the Champion Olympic frames but realized that they offered little actual eye protection if something did happen.

I am not sure about your frames, But Champions choice has lenses in stock but they are mainly for Champion and Knobloch frames. your holder size will determine what lens you need.

If you need a Negative cut, The only way is through your Eye doctor. they can cut it to whatever prescription you need.
