I used them years ago.
Not sure if they were like those or not.

Worked great for me when pistol shooting.

For that price, why not try them? I'm blind as a bat and need tri-focal glasses. But mine are cut so that the mid distance lens is at the top of the glass. When I shoot pistol I naturally tip my head down a little and use that focal point. Distance is in the center, and close up is at the bottom. No changing glasses to shoot.

I was introduced to SSP top-focal glasses several years ago an instructor when my glasses broke during a class. I've been using them ever since to compensate for my arms no longer being long enough. The top focal allows you to keep your head in a natural position to see the front sight and you can change out the lenses easily - different colors, prescriptions... They offer discounts for Vets, first responders, etc. as well

Since then, I've had students and other instructors that bought them after trying mine. They are worth checking out.

No, I'm not affiliated with them at all, but I wish I was....

I use a similar product. I think mine were actually called safety glass readers 1.5 magnification. I love em. Always wear them on the range.

Amazon product ASIN B013EHVTRS

This is similar to what I bought years ago.

Just figure out what magnification one needs.

I use Jackson 1.5 magnified dual zone safety glasses. The center of the lens is unmagnified while the tops and bottoms have the 1.5 diopter. This allows me to shoot iron sight pistols with ease with the magnified top portion of the lens, then for red dots where I don't need magnification I use the unmagnified center on the lens. I also don't need magnification for the peep sights on an AR so the glasses allow me to shoot both on the range without much hassle. I also have the 3M version of these glasses, the 3M version is even better they just look nerdy. You can get both on Amazon.

Just ordered a pair of magnified safety glasses based on all the recommendations in this thread. Thanks to y’all.

Hey TX,

What I did? Blessed, my eye Dr. is a competitive Air Pistol shooter.

Had right eye glass ground to about a four foot focus....(about a foot past front sight)

Left lens regular distance.

In speed events is good for about 10% time! (30 seconds down to 26 or 27 seconds)
