Shooting Safety Glasses - New Product from ShootingSight

New product announcement from ShootingSight LLC.
ShootingSight LLC is pleased to announce several new products for the shooter. Among them:
Shooting Safety Glasses. Unlike anything else on the market, these are true ANSI Z87+ high impact safety glasses that also incorporate a mild dioptric correction to bring your eye’s relaxed focal point back to the hyperfocal distance for the front sight. This allows you a much clearer view of the front sight, without giving up too much on the clarity of the target. I had prototypes of these out at Camp Perry this year, and they were very well received.
Young shooters, as well as shooters suffering from presbiopia, or ‘old eyes’ will benefit from having their eye remain in the relaxed state while focusing at the right distance to balance their depth of field between the front sight and the target.
Available in both +0.5 diopter for longer match rifles, or +0.75 diopter for shorter AR-15s, M-1 Carbines, or pistol shooting. These powers have been mathematically derived from the lens equations, based on the assumption that you have good distance vision. PD distance between the optical centers of the lenses have been reduced to place the ‘sweet spot’ of the lens somewhere between where you need it for offhand, and for Prone shooting.
Custom lens versions for people who wear glasses to see distance are not available at this time.
Also available are Safety Reading Glasses (or is that Reading Safety Glasses ?). These are standard reading glasses, like you buy at the drugstore, but they are ANSI Z87+ rated. Perfect for use around the shop, or loading bench. Unlike other safety reading glasses I have found, these are not bifocals. The lens is a single vision lens, so you do not have to tip your head back to see what you are doing – especially good if you are working with power tools and need your focus right all the time. These are available in a range of powers from +1.25 diopters, up to +3.00 diopters, depending on how close you need to focus. +1.5 is just about arm’s length work, +2.0 is reading distance, and +3.0 is up close work.
Price is $35 for the Shooting Safety Glasses, and $25 for the Reading Safety Glasses. Have not figured out international shipping costs, but it can't be that much.
