About Shooting Glasses and Eye Protection
All Shooting Glasses | Eye Protection FAQs
What types of shooting glasses are available?
Common options include wraparound styles for wider coverage, semi-rimless frames for a clearer sight picture, and full-frame designs for everyday durability. Some models also offer interchangeable lenses so you can switch tints as light conditions change.
Are shooting glasses impact-resistant?
Many shooting glasses use impact-resistant materials such as polycarbonate or Trivex. Some products are tested to recognised safety or ballistic standards (for example EN166 or ANSI Z87.1). Always check the product specification for the exact rating.
Do shooting glasses block UV rays?
Many models provide UV protection, but coverage varies by product and lens type. Check the product specification to confirm UV-A and UV-B protection.
Which lens colour should I choose for shooting?
Clear lenses suit indoor use and low light. Yellow or rose tints can increase contrast in overcast conditions. Smoke, grey or mirrored lenses can reduce glare in bright sun. Interchangeable lens systems are useful if conditions change during the day.
How can I reduce fogging on shooting glasses?
Choose models with anti-fog coatings and ensure a secure fit that still allows airflow. Keep lenses clean with a microfibre cloth and lens-safe cleaner, and avoid touching the inside surface where coatings are applied.
Can I use prescription lenses with shooting glasses?
Some shooting glasses support prescription inserts or clip-in systems. If you wear corrective lenses, check the product notes for insert compatibility and sizing before ordering.
How do I clean and store shooting eyewear?
Use a microfibre cloth and lens-safe cleaner. Avoid paper towels and harsh chemicals that can damage coatings. Store glasses in a protective case and keep them away from high heat or heavy pressure.
What is the difference between ballistic shooting glasses and standard sunglasses?
Ballistic or safety-rated shooting glasses are designed and tested for impact protection and may comply with recognised standards. Standard sunglasses may not meet the impact requirements expected for shooting use.
