I'm not certain of the exact tests involved, but I completely agree with your assessment of industrial safety glasses and expensive shooting glasses. I too wear industrial safety glasses when I shoot. Plus you can get them in many different styles and lens colors. Not to mention how much less expensive they are than most shooting glasses. That's money I save that goes into other things for shooting. Actually even more, as all my safety glasses are free from my employer. They want us protected even when not at work.
I notice they also list 'hunting professionals'. Anyway, no love for retired types there but out of curiousity, is there a big discount offered or what?
I'd be interested in finding out more about those lenses if you can get something like a trade name, a brand name, or whatever.
Nope, it doesn't work that way. We have a actual eye glasses office at work and a woman comes in a couple of times per week. You go in there with your prescription from your doctor and give it to her. You pick out what style of frames you want and she places a order. The lady does not work for our company, she is a outside vendor. Nobody at our plant ever sees a bill for the glasses. The bills are sent to our corporate office in another city. The hlasses themselves are made offsite and the glasses lady brings them with her when they arrive. So basically, nobody at our plant has anything to do with payment or choosing what glasses are authorized. All of that is handled by our corperate safety people.
Optics Planet seems to have quite a bit of choices you can get prescriptions in.
Your eye doctor should offer prescription safety glasses. I would ask next time your there or call them. I know LensCrafters sells them, although I don't have a clue as to what they cost.
