  • Shooting Glasses and Hunting Eyewear
    Shooting Glasses and Hunting Eyewear Hunters and gun enthusiasts require eye protection, whether at a shooting range or in the woods. All firearms have a certain amount of recoil, and many shooting activities take place outdoors, where wind, sun, dust, tree branches and brush all can cause eye injuries. Pre­made nonprescription sports goggles are usually acceptable if you don't require vision correction or if you wear contact lenses. Most of these goggles have a wraparound style to shield the eyes from wind and dust. However, lens quality can vary in pre­made goggles. Make sure the lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is the most impact­resistant material available. Frame features to look for If you need prescription lenses in order to focus well, or if you simply want to use the best shooting eyewear available, shooting glasses in styles similar to aviator sunglasses are always popular. Eyewear designed specifically for shooters, however, has a few more features than the traditional aviator­shaped frame for everyday (or “dress”) wear. Most importantly, the frame should be a safety­rated model, with a strong rim to hold the lenses in place. Some styles have a "sweat bar" that runs the width of the frame above the lenses to add more stability to the frame and keep it steady on the face. Others have special padding on the frame around the eyes to cushion the frame against your face in case the gun recoils too far. It also helps to shield your eyes from wind and dust. The temples of shooting glasses are often designed with spring hinges that allow the frame to flex without breaking when recoil occurs.

  • Bullseye Shooters' Guide for the Eyecare Professional
    BULLSEYE SHOOTERS' GUIDE FOR THE EYECARE PROFESSIONAL Dear Colleague: My name is Norman H. Wong, O.D. and I am a member of the California Optometric Association and the American Optometric Association. I am also a veteran, a life- member of the NRA and a competitive shooter in the sport of Conventional Pistol, known to its adherents as “bullseye shooting.” In bullseye shooting, competitors fire one-handed at paper targets from distances of 25 and 50 yards (50 feet during the indoor season) under exacting time constraints: In the most extreme instance, five shots must be placed on the paper within 10 seconds, while the slow-fire phase allows shooters as much as 10 minutes in which to make 10 shots. At the upper levels of competition, a millimeter or two of accuracy can make the difference between winning and simply placing in the top twenty. Like golf, bullseye shooting is a sport in which incremental improvements in equipment, technique and consistency can result in vastly improved scores. My reason for writing is that many bullseye shooters have told me that, while their day- to-day eyewear is often fine for conventional use, shooting glasses prescribed by the same eyewear professional often leave something to be desired. I believe this situation can be alleviated with a bit of guidance from someone familiar with the shooting discipline, so I hope you will not mind if I pass along some advice in the form of this document. Bullseye shooters are a wonderful and convivial group of individuals with critical visual needs. I urge you to set aside any political views against firearms and treat the bullseye shooter as you would any other patient.

  • Defog It Anti-Fog Is on Target with North American Hunting Club, Earning Their Seal of Approval
    Defog It Anti-Fog is on target with North American Hunting Club, earning their Seal of Approval. Case Study The problem: fogged hunting glasses Defog It antifog was tested with members of the 760,000-person North American Hunting Club, rating it for performance, ease of use, convenience and other criteria. Hunting safety experts recommend all hunters wear shooting glasses to protect their vision. Morning fog, mid-day heat and humidity, and the simple exertion of hunting can cause eyewear to fog up. The Results: Defog It earns the Hunt Club Seal of Approval. “Fog-free vision is a critical safety issue for hunters,” says John Swett, Nanofilm’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Hunters know Clarity Defog It stops fog. Period. Their comments are proof.” Club member feedback includes these comments: “These wipes work! Use them on your glasses or binoculars and forget about condensation.” “This product works great. I've put it on my sunglasses and shooting goggles that always used to fog up and now they don't -- not even on a foggy river.” “I used Clarity Defog It Dry Towelettes for two weeks while working in near 100% humidity at my deer lease. The fogging of my glasses has always been a problem at such times. Using the Clarity Defog It Dry Towelettes kept my glasses clear.” Defog It works. See safe, be safe. Clarity Defog It anti-fog towelettes and anti-fog liquid are safe and effective on all eyeglass lenses, scope lenses, goggles, faceshields and optics. A single application can keep optics fog-free up to all day.

    G02C SPECTACLES; SUNGLASSES OR GOGGLES INSOFAR AS THEY HAVE THE SAME FEATURES AS SPECTACLES; CONTACT LENSES (trial frames for testing the eyes A61B3/04; goggles or eyeshields not having the same features as spectacles A61F9/00) Definition statement This subclass/group covers: Ophthalmic devices intended to be worn or supported by the user, either in front of the eyes or placed in contact with the eyes: spectacles (eyeglasses), contact lenses, sunglasses, goggles insofar as they have the same features as spectacles. Optical parts of eyewear and methods of their design, e.g. lenses, filters, polarizers, mirrors, prisms, obturators, shields, auxiliary lenses. Mechanical parts of eyewear (Means to support the optical parts) e.g. spectacle frames, bridges, nose pads, side-members. Means to attach auxiliary optical parts to eyewear. Means for supporting eyewear e.g. retainers, headbands. Non-optical adjuncts to eyewear, e.g. ornaments, illumination, hearing aids and other electronic means, anti-misting means. Assembling, repairing and cleaning of spectacles and contact lenses. Measuring geometrical parameters for fitting or during assembling spectacles. Relationship between large subject matter areas This subclass concerns only extracorporal ophthalmic devices. Owing to their medical nature, implanted devices such as intraocular lenses and corneal implants are classified in A61F 2/00, as well as ophthalmologic instruments in A61B 3/00(diagnostic) and A61F 9/00(therapeutic). This subclass covers spectacles or goggles insofar they have features of vision correction or protection. Sunglasses are covered by this subclass insofar they protect the eye against high levels of visible and ultraviolet light. Groups A61F 9/02 and A61F 9/04 cover goggles or eye-masks (eye-shields) as forms of protective eyewear worn to prevent particulates or chemicals from striking the eyes, and not having the features of vision correction or protection against high levels of visible and ultraviolet light, which are normally associated to spectacles.
