welshwarrior Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 So I’ve now found out my eyes need some correction and particularly tracking in the centre so I require glasses with a prism prescription. My normal glasses seem to have massively rectify the degradation in my shooting so: What opticians go people recommend to have a pair of prescription shooting glasses made with tinted lenses ideally I’d prefer not to have inserts.

Vince Green Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Well your best option is probably to go the optician in Bisley. If nothing else he will know about shooting glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Only 1 choice really, Ed Lyons off another shooting Forum. Agent for ALL of the big names in shooting glasses, but specialises in prescription options. A lot of the top shooters have used him and as such, speak very highly of him. Not sure where he is based but a lot of people think the trip worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 There used to be a specialist shooting opticians on Bisley camp, next door to Fultons. Not sure if its still there, but I remember going in a few times over the years. My latest pair were from an internet site Goggles4U, simple pair of black aviators with brown non reflective lenses. Work perfectly for me and were cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 90 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Only 1 name for shooting glasses - Ed Lyons 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Ok so there’s the two names I expect Edd Lyons and J Steward (at Bisley a few days a month in the warmer months). Any others, and first hand experiences ideally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_n07 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) I know a couple of people who have these safety glasses with the built in lens frames - they got their own optician to provide and fit the lenses to them https://www.topgunclothing.co.uk/shooting-glasses/premier-plus-protective-shooting-glasses At £30 + lenses they don't break the bank Edited November 6, 2018 by old_n07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnphilip Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Hi Daf i got a pair made had to travel 50 miles though from stranraer to Ayr . Went to see a guy who now works from home. He does lots of work for NHS doctors. He set me up with an amazing pair all the top quality glass . I took an orange clay with me to try the differant colours . When i put them on when its a dull cloudy day , what a differance its like the sun has come back out all all the grayness has gone. I got top quality frames. hoya lens i belive , i wear vari folcal in right eye and a balanced in left , as i have very little sight , think they were around 250 to 300 . But well worth it . Other places seem to charge a lot more . Edited November 7, 2018 by johnphilip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted November 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Very cool looking but I’m thinking shotgun. Anyone tries sunglasses for sport in Basingstoke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehb102 Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 If you have a prism prescription Ed Lyons is very good at finding you a pair of glasses that will work with that. You can send over a prescription and Ed will give you some options. http://www.ed-lyons.com/ I wasted my time going elsewhere and went back to Ed.
