That type of eyewear is awesome I had a pair of Wiley-X glasses in Iraq that I bought the prescription lenses for so I could wear them while on patrols. Problem is my prescription is so horrible it cost me $374 for the prescription lenses. No more will I buy glasses like that Its bad enough having to buy prescription eye glasses let alone buying a pair of expensive glasses then having to fork out another few hundred bucks to get prescription lenses. It sucks being blind LOL.

Great review, Doc. I'm in the same boat - not a good candidate for laser surgery or contacts, so I was stuck with glasses with clipons. Based on Beachhead's positive experience with ESS ICE, I recently got a pair. I like the improved safety with the wraparound style. Unfortunately, the insert pushes the glasses out, creating a gap at my eyebrows - maybe brass casings could get wedged in there. Also, like the other person who commented, they may have altered my experience of the sight picture.

Glad to hear your close call was just that. I've worn prescription glasses since age 4 or 5 and have experienced several instances where they protected me. One involved a ricochet from steel targets set at too close a range. I always insist on polycarbonate lenses for their impact resistance. When others have spoken volumes about corrective surgery allowed them to ditch their specs, I happily wear them at all times if for nothing more than eye safety.

Doc- I did not catch if your Rx was for a bifocal. If so does Revision make a bifocal carrier lens? Thanks again for the review!

@TRAVERZULU3 - my correction is bifocal . . . I have two sets of corrective carriers . . . one with the bifocal lens and one with just far correction. The bifocal lens is a function of the lens and not the carrier. I will do a brief update on that aspect for clarification . . . should be able to do that after my next shift . . . hope that helps!

Dear Doc
The reason I wear glasses today is because I caught some secondary shrapnel in my eye from an arty round many 100's yards away as I ran towards a bunker in the middle of the night! I almost lost my eye, I had friends that did lose an eye.
I strongly recomend the best eye protection possible!
