I ordered regular or bifocal for my Marines from a company called ESS(http://www.esseyepro.com/Profile---I...12_detail.html) and they sent inserts that set into ESS safety glasses, motocross/ski type goggles or gas masks. 90% of the guys loved 'em and 10% hated 'em. I thought the versatility was awesome you could change the safety lenses from clear to black to yellow whatever you desired and the inserts were just smaller glasses without arms and clipped solidly onto the nosepiece of the glasses, goggles or gasmask

ESS ICE are the shooting glasses i use for handgunning. Trifocal lens in my left eye and single vision in my right (dominant) eye with a focal length set to have a sharp clear front sight.

The versatility of the ESS ICE is fantastic. Plus if you take a hit in the glasses all damage is a $12 polycarbonate shield that is easily replaceable and your more expensive prescription lenses are protected.

it has been working great for me for several years now.

The Decot glasses seem to be pretty popular with PPC shooters in SE Mich and with shotgun shooters.

Dr. Gauthier in Waterford carries the Decot glasses.

I spoke to my eye doctor about getting glasses that have the bifocal at the top for shooting rifles and handguns. He was familiar with the request.
Aftermarket glasses that you put prescription inserts in are good in case you break the glasses, you can get another pair if the inserts are still good.
Multiple sets of inserts can be of a benefit as well.
