Most goggle systems have an Rx insert available. I wear glasses and can not wear contacts, so I have inserts for my ESS LandOps goggles, my Bolle T800's and my Uvex XC glasses. I used to wear my glasses under my goggles and while it worked, I did find them uncomfortable and the tended to slip around too much. The inserts solve the problem.

I have glasses and I found wearing either wearing tank goggles with balistic lenses or just wearing shooting glasses on top of, or without my glasses works fine too.

I have thick D&G frames for my glasses. They're wide with rectangle lenses. And I tried to put on my NVG Profile ESS goggles, and the rubber is soft enough to go around the frame and fits quiet perfect.

I wear glasses and I've been wearing the ESS Land Ops overtop for all my games (some over 12h long), and I can tell you that with a little relief here and there they're good to go.

Although now I've got my issued ballistics and inserts...and they rock...so they'll be my preference from now on

I wear ESS goggles over my glasses. It works fine but I find my glasses fog sometimes (my glasses, not the goggles). I've been trying out various solutions and soap seems to be the best.

I went to the eye Dr. and got them to make me up some rx Uvex safety glasses. I have the option to change out the shield to yellow, blue, clear or smoke, so it is pretty handy. The best part is that I was able to put it all through the company safety program at work and didn't have to pay for anything.

I used to wear my glasses under ESS goggles but I found that after a couple hours they started to become uncomfortable.

I know that JT used to make goggles that had slots on the side specifically for glasses. I have a friend that uses a Vforce Profiler paintball mask and there's tons of room for his glasses. You need to find goggles that are "deep" enough for glasses.

Get a pair of ESS goggles. They're fairly cheap, especially the Land Ops ones. Then hit up the ESS web site with your eye glass prescription and order up a prescription insert.

SEALS Action Gear should have the RX inserts, or should other be able to bring them in. I believe they're around $30 - you'll need to have scrip lenses done for you upon receipt. Barring that, Optics Planet should have them. They should also be able to fill your prescription for you.
