These are some question people might want to ask from shooters regarding their lenses.  Obviously the shooter’s lenses quite fancy, weird and attractive for some people . Here some tips that will help you to answer your puzzles…..

Shooter's Lenses

Eye protection is essential for anyone using a firearm, whether at a shooting range or in a forest. All firearms have a certain amount of recoil, and many shooting activities take place outdoors where wind, sun and dust also can lead to eye and vision problems.

Handguns are used at distance of an arm's length away while shotguns and rifles are held on the shoulder. The different type of shooting activities occurs in a various distance from the face, which means you should take every precaution to shield your eyes from harm.

Good eye protection is required during organized matches or while shooting on a range. Some range masters allow shooters to wear any kind of eyewear they like, but sometimes certain safety standards are required.

Generic, contoured nonprescription sports goggles are acceptable if you don't require vision correction or if you wear contact lenses. These goggles have a slight wrap around the face and keep out wind and dust.

Features of a shooter’s lenses to make you more comfortable while using a firearm:

1.Interchangeable, shatterproof lenses in colors, clear and light rust for variable lighting conditions.

2.The lenses are certified as highly shatter-resistant, even when hit by a .15 caliber steel fragment fired at a minimum of 640 feet per second.

3.The frame styles generally have a "sweat bar" that runs the width of the frame above the lenses to add stability to the frame for a secure fit.

4.The frames also are made in a rounded shape, to avoid sharp corners that could jab your face.

5.Some brands have special padding on the frame around the eyes. The padding cushions the frame against your face in case the gun recoils too far. This also helps to keep out wind and dust.

Additional Frame Features in Shooting Glasses

5.The temples of shooting glasses often are designed with spring hinges that allow the frame to flex without breaking when recoil occurs. Temples also wrap around the ear in the "cable" style to help keep the frame in place, and the tips of the temples may feature rounded ends to enhance comfort.

6.Nose pads are adjustable so that the frame rests in the optimum position, and soft silicone pads often are used for additional comfort.

7.Some shooting glasses feature bridges that adjust to one of several locking positions so that the glasses are positioned just right for any shot.

8.The frames are constructed of any number of ophthalmic materials, including titanium and other metals, regular plastic and tough polycarbonate.

If you wear a normal lenses never ever switch them to a shooter’s lenses  for daily use…or  unless you are becoming shooter you may choose any shooting lense for you . So I hope these might
