Fun fact......
On receipt of impact you should be changing eyepro. Especially after point blank testing with high FPS kit. They are designed to protect against a single impact and are then considered compromised.
Do you? It must get pretty expensive binning lenses multiple times a day.
Strictly speaking Hunter is right …… but for the purpose that they are designed for
Military/shooting impact eye protection is designed to be the last chance saver from something as simple as dirt, dust, gases and the gravel/splinters etc flying from impact nearby
They are not for direct protection from what is being shot at you
Poor shooting glasses have been as simple as sunglasses - just for the dust etc (a reason for which I have traditionally directed people to look more than ‘shooting glasses’ but to check that there is an impact standard)
The advice in the video is in a shooting situation - once that safety equipment has protected you once then accept that it has done its job and replace it
(the same applies to motorcycle helmets - if it’s smashed and ground into the tarmac then you can see it’s had it’s day, but if it has impact but looks ok then the internal structure may have taken it all and should still have the helmet replaced)
For airsoft however the intent is to be shot and you can see all the ‘functioning parts’ - the lens
If the lens shows impact, has tiny little cracks etc then it needs to be replaced
If the lens is to a compliant impact standard then I would not replace just due to a BB impact
The next consideration is lens age. I used to religiously replace lenses annually, which continued until I had a vast collection each used occasionally by myself or on loan
I now replace based on condition and/or general age
If a lens is removable then extra consideration is to be given on how well fitted it may be - if regularly swapped for colour etc then that may affect how well they fit (or how clumsily the user fits them)
