Where can I get lenses for Junker shooting glasses?
I need to get two uncorrected clear lenses for a pair of Swiss Junker shooting glasses. Does anyone know of any optical shop/optometrist that can do this. My local optical shop thought the lenses were bent and wanted to straighten them and couldn't fit lenses to boot!

There are a few that understand, and a few more that can learn. The lenses are ground for the frames and any COMPETENT optometrist/ophthalmologist can measure and have them ground to fit. There are some within a community of shooters that the shooters go to and that the lens fitting is almost second nature.
I remember when I carried my rifle INTO the optometrist office by his invitation. Fit, measured, and focused on the rifle and its front sight at the office!

Oh, and by the way.....have another shooter measure from your shooting glasses to your front sight. That way the 'doc' can make certain there is a clear focus on the front sight.
In addition to that there is a change in the optical center when the shooter is on the rifle. One way or another the docto will place a majic marker spot on the lense and make certain that the grinding lab is instructed to pay attention to the new optical center.
