[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 814929, member: 105"] I'm another one that doesn't like to wear shooting glasses. I was forced by very bad vision to wear eye glasses from age 12 to age 52 and I hated the fact that my periferal vision was poor and keeping glasses truly clean is a PITA. 10 years ago I had lasik surgery twice before the doctor finally got it right and now I see better than I ever have in my life. Even 10 years after the surgery I absolutely HATE wearing shooting glasses when I hunt and rarely do. I've NEVER found glasses that didn't scratch easily and offer protection when shooting. They never seem to be truly clean and when shooting I hate wearing eye protection. BUT!!! Having spent thousands of days at rifle ranges and thousands more hunting I must say that shooting glasses have probably prevented me from serious eye injuries several times. So do I wear them? You bet... But not when hunting unless I'm using a muzzleloader. Them dang things spit back too often. LOL I wear shooting glasses at the range most of the time but when I'm trying to get that laser accurate view of the target to shoot a sub moa group I often slip them off if nobody is shooting beside me and if the rifle is a known safe one. Yeah I know.... Dangerous but it DOES help. I special ordered some Costa's with polycarbonate lenses and they're amber and polarized and I like the camo frames. They're the best shooting glasses I've ever owned and I DO like them but I still can't wait to get them off unless the sunlight is just too much or the danger at the range too great to risk which is most of the time. OH... And when I'm priming brass cases I ALWAYS wear them. Dangerous stuff and although I've primed well over a hundred thousand cases with not a single problem it still makes me NERVOUS...
