Is there something available that will allow me to replace my glasses temples with a strap or string or anything that will work with a set of noise reducing ear muffs? With hard plastic or metal temples the seal around the earpiece is broken and the muffs don't do their job properly. I've found straps that hook to the end of the temples but I want to replace them completely if possible. If this isn't a thing, I'm going to have to print something on my 3d printer. | ||

I'm not sure about regular glasses, but I believe that you can get safety goggles with prescription lenses, that are held on with an elastic strap, rather than temple arms. We do have at least one eye doc on the forum, who might be able to confirm this. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

In researching a repair for my eye glasses I came across this outfit. They repair eyeglasses and sunglasses, both metal frames and plastic frames (depending on specific material, location, and type of repair). They do mail order repairs. There is a lengthy article on their website with a lot of good information about this type of work and pictures of the types of repairs they are capable of. You might consider talking to them and see if they would tackle a custom project for you. eyewear repair | |||

Or the next time you get a new eyeglasses prescription, buy wire frames? "America is at that awkward stage.

Coming at it from the other direction, gel ear seals on the muffs will greatly improve the seal around the glasses. | |||

Prescription and protection. Currently the dorkiest glasses of all time. | |||

I'd like them to be comfortable, too. | |||

These are my frames. They look good. (I get complements often.) They're comfortable. They stay on my face almost regardless of what I do. And the temples are thin enough not to interfere with over-the-ear protection.  They were spendy, but, man, were they worth every penny. My prescription doesn't change much over time and I treat my eyeglasses well, so, when I buy new ones, I go for it. I usually end up spending about $700 by the time I'm done.

I wore THESE while I was in the Army, but I don’t know what it would take to get lenses made for them. | |||

I would try the gel pads first. I understand the ease of over the ear but have you looked into custom plugs? I’m having a pair ordered through House of Hearing via SoundGear https://www.soundgearhearing.c...hEAQYASABEgLL3PD_BwE and they’re about $150 plus if there is a charge for someone to do the mold. House of Hearing did mine because I bought some electronic plugs from them, but you may find a local shooting club that has somebody to do it and probably won’t charge. They’re 27-29db rated, if that’s enough. Once they have your molds, you can order by phone if you need replacements. Do not send me to a heaven where there are no dogs.

Foamies are rated at 33dB and are what I normally use. The only reason I've been using muffs is because I use a set of Bluetooth earbuds to listen to music or Bible or podcasts. The gel things still don't cover the gap between the temples and my skull. I've been wearing my glasses with the temples above the muffs and that's not really working for me. | |||

I had those in the past and the wrap-around eat thing really gets painful by the end of the day. Chafing and such. | |||

That's perfect if I can get my prescription lenses in them. Thanks. | |||

Some of these style can be attached up by the temples if the frame will fit in the tube or clamp end. Then you may be able to trim the temples shorter to avoid the muff. The cloth would feel better under the ear muffs. https://www.croakies.com/retai...HEAAYASABEgLfLPD_BwE You may be able to add some heat shrink tube over the ends to tighten the fit to the frame.

Do your glasses have screws holding the temples to the rest of the frame and acting as the hinge? If so, perhaps you could McGiver something? If your glasses aren’t too expensive, maybe get a second set, take the temples off, and use a safety pin on each side to attach an elastic band. Pin goes through the band, through the hinge in the frame where the screw was, then back through the band. May look a little dorky, but should work and be a low cost solution. Just a thought... | |||

my solution, two pair of glasses 1 pair for not working another modified pair. the working pair would have the temple's arm's cut off , an inch and 3/4 from the hinge. then you fasten an elastic head band on to it with some good glue, and you are good to go Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.
