I just got back from my military eye doctor who tells me that my astigmatism is now so bad, they can no longer mathematically correct for it when prescribing Rx inserts for my Canadian issue ballistic eye wear (i.e. shooting glasses). The problem stems from the fact that most (all I’ve found) shooting glasses that take Rx inserts, have the lenses and the Rx inserts curved inwards towards the face, resulting in the prescription having to be mathematically changed a little to account for the shifting of the lenses.

Now my eyes (I’ve worn glasses for over 40 years now) have developed astigmatism to the point they cannot make me glasses with the curved inwards lenses. Instead they are going to issue me two (one clear, one tinted) pairs of flat front glass safety glasses. The only good thing about this is I now need bifocals and they can make the safety glasses in bifocals but they can’t do ballistic eye wear Rx inserts in bifocals. I should be able to see the  front sight again.

Here’s my questions. Does anyone out there know of any more stylish shooting glasses that allow for a flat front Rx insert? Or possibly better looking (i.e. less high school chem lab looking) safety glasses that I can just have prescription safety glass put in?

I’m looking for a solution for use on the range (rifle, shotgun, action pistol (IPSC) and not just fancy looking sunglasses.
