Prescription glasses and airsoft

In the spirit of helping other people of the four eyed kind, I have been using the Nikwax visor clear on my glasses (with RX inserts) and so far even on the hottest day(s) of the year thus far and me sweating like a pig.... no fogging!!! the bottle is relatively expensive for what it is but when only a couple of sprays are need before use i think its been a worth while investment.

 
I need a quick fix pair as I’m playing soon, current Google’s are to bulky and decided to start falling apart

No, because they utilise inserts instead.

Id have to have the inserts done to my prescription, so no quick fix there. Do look a great set of goggles though. Think I’ll get these and the inserts done for future games, how do these compare to advancers  with inserts? 

Think its it’s going to be the Bolle Pilot as a quick fix jobby

How quick is quick? Should take no time to get prescription lenses fitted.

 
Just had my Bolle Raider Ballistic glasses/goggles arrive. 

RX inserts are away getting prescription put in.

i will put up a review once I’ve used them in anger at my next couple game days.

these were purchased from 

https://ukmcpro.co.uk/products/bolle-tactical-raider-glasses-3-lens-kit

and were/are the cheapest I can find them online (that actually has stock) at £45.

kit comes with three ballistic lenses 

smoke

clear

amber

(plus RX prescription carrier)

and a goggle type strap should you wish to use it.

£45 for glasses then £25 to fit prescription if your considering.

Just got the same pair a few weeks back. Going to boots tomorrow to see how much it will cost (may try vision express too). Where did you get the prescription from? Thats a really good price.  

 
I've tried the cheap glasses from websites before but for some reason never get it right ( have pretty poor eyesight) . So i'm wary to go this route. As it's easier to go back to a high street shop to make corrections. I will See what they say tomorrow with regards to cost, I had an appointment anyway.

I can attest to Glasses Direct doing it fine too (I've used them 3 times now), but they just follow the prescription and the pupillary distance that your highstreet optician logs. The PD is one of the most important bits so be sure you have this done properly as you may have to ask to have it done/ask for the information from your optician.

 
Vision express are f*cking expensive. 60 quid. But I paid it because specsavers wouldnt do it.

 
As above: Glazing/opticians are highly regulated (like any rendering of a prescription service) and you'll get an extremely consistent product regardless of where you go. One can absolutely go online and get just as good a job as anywhere else.
