I bought a large pair of Polar Optics today from the Walmart Vision Center. They are very comfortable and solve the problem I was trying to solve quite nicely. They cover my glasses, have a "shelf" on the top that goes over the glasses and rests on my forehead and side panels that will prevent anything from entering my eyes from the sides. They also had the Solar Shield glasses, but I didn't like the fit at all. The Polar Optics glasses were $24. This is a link that shows what they look like - http://diopticssunwear.com/products_fitsover.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks.

I'm thinking about participating in IDPA. I've been reading about it and have read stories about ricochets from metal targets hitting shooters. I wear eye glasses all the time, but I'm wondering if I need more eye protection when shooting in IDPA. Is there such a thing as eye protection for people who wear eye glasses? I've seen tactical goggles on the Internet, but I'm not sure they would fit with my glasses on.

My goal in participating in IDPA would be to simulate real conditions as much as possible, so I don't want to take my glasses off to shoot. In fact, I shoot at the range with my sunglasses on, because I'm as likely to be wearing those as not when something might happen.
