I'm one of those who needs reading glasses in order to see the front sight. I have found several commerical bifocal safety glasses (on-line) with built-in reading glasses (1.5 - 2.0). I am thinking these must be better than my reading glasses since they are really design for a commerical applications. Does anyone have experience with this type of product and if so, can you give me a recommendation?
Thanks in advance. -- NRA - Member Sig P226 9mm HK 45C (pending) "The US Constitution - Void Where Prohibited by Law" |

I have the same problem, wearing progressive lenses so I have to tilt my head back or squint to see the front sight.
I'm going to get some proper lenses built into safety goggles, like the basketball players wear... What WEBSITE did you find with your bifocal type glasses? G When you're done, you'll know it. -Del Farnsworth- Freerepublic.com |

I got some bifocal safety glasses from Harbor Freight of all places. Unfortunately the magnification area isn't the entire width of the lens, but it is better than nothing.
When I was last there, they had 1.5 and 2.0 magnifications. Alcohol Tobacco Firearms Who brought the chips and dip? |

Lowe's has 1 or 2 according to their website. This site also offers a range of styles.

I’d say talk to your Eye Dr. The Doc should be able to make bi-focal in whatever safety glass/plastic that shooting glasses are made from.

I found some in the sporting goods department of Wal Mart. They had different strengths available. They were about $10 so cheap to try out.

I received two (2) pair of Dewalt bifocal safety glasses yesterday. The bifocal part of the lens is in the lower part of the lens. Which means you can't really use them to shoot without tilting your head back. These are well made for the price and will actually be great as safety glasses in the shop ... but not for shooting. Somehow, I should have figured this out before I ordered them. Perhaps my mistake will help others?
And so it goes. -- NRA - Member Sig P226 9mm HK 45C (pending) "The US Constitution - Void Where Prohibited by Law" |

I don't have any personal experience with this product but it looks interesting. A company called ESS (Eye Safety Systems) makes a product called the Interchangeable Component Eyeshield (ICE). They claim it is used by the military, law enforcement and fire departments.

I have a pair that I bought years ago for work and now use them for shooting. They work well.
I rely on two LaserMax Guide rod units the rest of the time in my carry guns. _________________________ |
