Clip-on for glasses

[CamelNL]

Does Anyone know if there is a clip on magnifier for your glasses? Now i use a clip-on iris diafragma and i want to add Some magnification to iT.

Don't fool around with gadgets. Get the exact glass(es) you need. It will be cheaper and work better in the long run.

Getting new prescription shooting glasses every time your vision changes can get expensive. I tried to find clip-on shooting lenses for the team I help coach, and found nothing. So, I made my own:

I have several students using them successfully. However, adding an aperture to them will be tricky. If you use a Gehmann clip on aperture, you could try adding one of the same lenses I used to the aperture disk.

These are fine if you don't wear prescription glasses. If you already have prescription glasses, there aren't a lot of options. As far as I know, nobody makes "over the glasses" magnifying safety glasses. Your only options are custom glasses with your prescription boosted for shooting, or the clip-on lens that nobody seems to make commercially.

I've never tried $29 prescription glasses, but I would be surprised if the lenses are very accurate for that price. Standard optometrist tolerances on lenses is +/- a quarter of a diopter, which is a LOT of slop for shooting well. I get my shooting glasses lenses in 1/8 diopter increments, and can easily see a 1/4 diopter error.

Me, too. But the cheap glasses will still work better than his proposed kludge.

[ShootingSight]

I make clip-on lenses at ShootingSight. They are available in both +0.50 and +0.75.

Cost is $50. These are ophthalmic lenses that I cut and drilled to fit the clips, so they work, and if your prescription is changing regularly, it probably is a cheaper solution in the long run. However if you get a used set of Knobloch or similar, you can get a new lens made for $40, so the cost isn't much higher, and you don't deal with looking through multiple lenses..

I have one of ShootingSight's +0.50 and like it a lot. It flips up, btw, very convenient, and moves to any eyewear I happen to be using.
