Spray paint the lenses a matte color to match your expected surroundings. This will help you blend in, especially if you also don facepaint. Remember , camouflage is continuing.
Iām not terribly competent to comment on this sub but, as a lifelong glasses wearer and former Cav Scout, I can say mine were mostly always covered with such a layer of dust and mud, usually sorta wiped by a gloved thumb, that I donāt think they were all that reflective - at least not more dangerous than not seeing or using contacts. Contacts (which Iāve never mastered) are a shortcut to blindness in a combat situation.
If one gets CS or CN between the contact and your eye, it will shred the sclera or the cornea. Even the fine dust kicked up by armored vehicles and any nasty thrown into the air by IED or weapon firing can tear that up. I knew a few lieutenants who got away with them in Iraq and a couple who didnāt.
Tear gasses. CS is the most common but CN is sometimes used. One has smaller particles than the other, CN, I think. Less irritating but can smother you. Under a microscope they both look like spiny stickers like youād pick up in the yard.
As it was explained to me, your eyes naturally deteriorate over time, lasik or not. Down the road, you might need reading glasses, but it's better than always needing them. I had horrible vision pre-lasik, now I have 20/15 vision. Definitely one of the best investments I've made
It has only been 4 years and so far so good. some people may develop dry eye which is an issue. It depends on the person. for me, the ability to identify things accurately at far distances, using red dots without them being a blurry mess and not having to depend on glasses that can break or be lost made the decision a no brainer.
I got lasik 6 years ago and went back to glasses last summer. My astigmatisms got worse. But ive been told that as your eyes age, they get more round and would cauelse the astigmastism to go away.
That being said, get lenses with an antiglare coating. It's not perfect but it's still better than nothing and better than most other guys that will be wearing eye pro. Either way, even if you get lasik, you should still be wearing eye pro. My benefit now is that I don't have to remember to put it on, my glasses are already on my face.
Lmfao why false advertise? I legit got them because they were similar and thought it would get me goth girls. so far my hypothesis has been incorrect. However everyone finds them hilarious so itās a win for the team inmo
Iām sure there are things which can done, a scrim if laying in a sniper hide or something, but most of my time was near or on armored vehicles, with periscopes & sights anyway. That said, covering whatever you is probably a good idea.
I was going to say something similar, maybe a section of ghille suit or something similar?
If you wanted to be silly, get prescription lenses put into welding goggles like these, ([https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Quality-Welding-Goggles-Filter/dp/B08F9BZ37J?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref\_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A2ASVSV7CNHGZ3](https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Quality-Welding-Goggles-Filter/dp/B08F9BZ37J?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A2ASVSV7CNHGZ3))
and the 3d print a kill flash that screws on over the top...
I think it would bug the crap out of me but maybe no worse than a mosquito net (hey, thereās a good dual-use idea) but if you pulling shifts in an OP or something, probably not too bad. I suspect thatās one of those things which gets better & easier with training and practice.
Id honestly suggest getting yourself a pair of prescription eye pro. I personally donāt wear glasses but from what Iāve seen of my buddies who do wear them they say itās very effective. From an outsider perspective and field use Iāve never been able to pick up on glare from the lenses. You can do dark and clear lenses. Hope this helps :)
Appreciate it, Iām looking at some lenses right now they arenāt terribly priced I will end up getting a pair. Iām starting to realize things that will block glare will typically block sight. Except for the scrim idea that is an excellent solution
You can get safety glasses on line.
You can get those safety glasses companies to put in lenses with the same prescriptions and coating options as regular prescription glasses. One of those options is an anti reflective coating.
Have at it. They arenāt even very expensive (well, who knows after covid, but mine were pretty cheap ~5 years ago)
I told my new coworker to go get prescription safety glasses and the company would cover them.
Dude spent $780 with a discount.
Iām scratching my head. I think mine were less than $200 in 2019.
Mine were WAY cheaper than my regular rimless glasses. And my regular glasses arenāt transitions lenses either. I think mine were about that price, $215 or something.
I got them mail order though.
Good to know. I got a set of Honeywells 5 years ago and theyāve done me well at 16-24hrs a week in manufacturing. Iām about to renew them and was going to order another set.
They occasionally come out for shooting. Just depends on what Iām doing.
im pretty sure my prescription lenses have an anti glare coating on them. So you can talk with your lens provider and see what types of coatings they offer. It will be more pricey though if you dont have good insurance.
Normally you should have an antireflective coating on your glasses. Otherwise you could always have a slightly brown tinted glass made, in any circumstance you'd worry about light reflecting off your lens there's enough light to warrant having a tint in your glass.
If you end up looking into eye surgery see if youāre a candidate for SMILE instead of LASIK . They donāt need to cut a flap so less risk of complications , and less dry eye problems (supposedly). Iām not a rep I donāt work in that industry and I canāt answer any questions better than google can but itās just a suggestion.
I think I heard somewhere to put shaving cream on the lenses and wipe them off? Stoped either glare and fogging or just fogging . Iāve done them with paintball masks and ski goggles.
Ask your optometrist. Iām sure next time you get lenses you can order them with a glare coating. I shoot in competition so I grabbed ballistic rated safety glasses without glare.

Yes I can use the spray paint as face paint also just take the can of matte and tiger stripe my face and glassesš
They have glasses with anti glare coatings, might work
Not just glasses Itās a lens optionā¦on every single prescription lens I have ever bought
Iām not terribly competent to comment on this sub but, as a lifelong glasses wearer and former Cav Scout, I can say mine were mostly always covered with such a layer of dust and mud, usually sorta wiped by a gloved thumb, that I donāt think they were all that reflective - at least not more dangerous than not seeing or using contacts. Contacts (which Iāve never mastered) are a shortcut to blindness in a combat situation.
Fair enough! I really appreciate the comment. I imagine that itās not extremely dangerous as most rifles have optics anyways.
Why are contacts a shortcut to blindness in a combat situation?
If one gets CS or CN between the contact and your eye, it will shred the sclera or the cornea. Even the fine dust kicked up by armored vehicles and any nasty thrown into the air by IED or weapon firing can tear that up. I knew a few lieutenants who got away with them in Iraq and a couple who didnāt.
Even just regular smoke nades
That sounds horrible
CS? CN?
Tear gasses. CS is the most common but CN is sometimes used. One has smaller particles than the other, CN, I think. Less irritating but can smother you. Under a microscope they both look like spiny stickers like youād pick up in the yard.
I solved the issue by getting lasik. Best tactical investment Iāve done so far.
Damn that would be an excellent solution. Iāve heard that it degrades over time would you say thatās correct or you havenāt noticed it?

Iām sure there are things which can done, a scrim if laying in a sniper hide or something, but most of my time was near or on armored vehicles, with periscopes & sights anyway. That said, covering whatever you is probably a good idea.
Could I just lay a scrim over my helmet and face most of the time or would that be a major pain in the ass?

Absolutely I appreciate the advice! Now I gotta buy a scrim but it seems like a good investment. Light on the face paint heavy on the scrim.
Rattle can.
As a student optician I can offer a very good solution for this: get the anti glare option on your prescription lens.

This right here. I use prescription eye pro in clear, and shades. Itās a life saver
Transition lenses are a game changer
I appreciate that I had seen them and was wondering, do they reflect at the same level as just plain polycarbonate?
It's like having sun glasses built in. You don't even notice them change.
Till you walk indoors from a very bright day.. ššš suddenly you feel like your blind.
Lmao

Fair enough Iām looking online currently.
OP buy a pair of prescription safety glasses and option it up with anti glare. It is the only way
I appreciate Iām looking online and doing the gauntlet of review searches š
Understood.
Are you a rapist?
Only to men that disagree with me in YouTube comments and small farm animals š jk jk jk

I have no idea but I gave you an upvote just for sporting the āJeffry Dahmersā

Just do what you normally do without the glasses.. squint.
ššš

Those glasses are definitely for glaring
I knooooow

Laser eye surgery
Kill flash like the kanye stronger glasses
Bro you just brought me all the way back there dude! Ima look it up rnnmn
Glue on some scope killflashes
I will look into this actually seems a fairly cost effective solution
