    This is an old article and test review but I believe there is good info to be had from it.

    I believe impact resistant lenses fitted in good quality full frames are the starting point in shooting glasses/eyepro.

    See that is the thing. It only complies to EN 166 and there is no + Rating on the ANSI.
    This means it does not pass the high velocity impact rating of ANSI. EN 166 is also the lowest velocity rating from the EN standards.

    My eyes are more valuable to me than that.
    I personally use mil spec oakley frames with Phoenix lenses which are ANSI 87.1 + rated.
    If I use contact lenses I use Oakley mil prf lenses and frame

    Good to know..I am in the process of getting glasses made by my optometrist and asked him about shooting with them and he said they could change them to be used for shooting...Ill check with him if they meet those standards

    There is a thread discussing prescription lenses for shooting. I cannot find it right now.
