I have my prescription and instead of buying new glasses and lenses like I usually do at the doctors office,

I have considered buying lens on line something made for shooters

One brand suggested to me was
"Hunters Gold HD",
they have a nice web site, and it all sounds like what I want, any thoughts on those or any other brands to look at?

These will be used primarily for competition handgun, occasional rifle, maybe a touch of shotgun.

Rogers, or if you got big bucks Pilla.

Find a local eye doc. We have on online see what he says. It depends where you want the point of focus. Many eye docs shoot firearms.

Local docs now carry a variety of sporting scripts.

I picked up some Wiley X Saints Rx a few years back and they are my standard range eyewear.

my eye doc is a shooter, (distinguished in a few disciplines)

I have a pair of Decot HyWyd's he did for me, using this kit, that do me well

The trick is to use "monovision" with the dominant eye focused on the front sight and the other eye focused on the distant target.

Wear these every day. Have zero line progressive bifocals with anti scratch coating and transition lenses.

Flashguy is correct with the 'monovision' tip. Now if they invented something where I could actually hit the spot I think I'm aiming at, that would be awesomevision..

I shoot with a guy who wears progressives. He had a pair made specifically for shooting that have magnifier in the top half of the lenses rather than the bottom. This enables him to focus on the front sight.

Yes Thanks

I have the prescription already,

For my shooting glasses the dominant eye is set for front sight focus and the other eye is progressive

I was not happy with the selection of frames and offering at the doctors office and was looking at on line options other shooters use.

I don't think this holds true for every shoooter. It depends on your degree of correction, and whether pistol or rifle.
 
This method, for me, made me dizzy pistol shooting. I have to have both eyes focused on the front sight, and thankfully my correction is not so severe. When I move the focus forward to the front sight, the target beyond (25 yards or less) is still in fuzzy focus, enough so that it is distinct.

Perhaps your monovision wasn't done properly. I've used monovision for over 30 years and so has Mrs. Flash and my eye doctor from 30 years ago also.

Anyway, back to the OP.

I recommend Decot, as another poster has.

If you have your prescription, look on their website and they have a downloadable PDF that shows everything they offer and all the colors of lenses and what the colors are for.

Call them up, give them your prescription and tell them what frames and lenses you want and you'll have them in a week or two.

I shoot with them every week and have a couple of different colors of lenses for different conditions. Changing both lenses out is a 3 minute job.
