For those that don't wear prescription glasses---Do you wear eye protection in the field? There have been several threads on hearing protection but what about eyes? I purchased 2 pair of non-prescription polycarbonate lenses and frames from a franchise eyeglass company at one of their big sales for $129 total--split the purchase with a friend.

I wouldn't dream of going hunting or fishing without eye protection. I wear glasses, but tried contacts for a while. I always wore some kind of glasses over the contacts while in the field. That, however, is a function of how I do my hunting and fishing. I typically fly fish. And I hunt in thick brushy woods.

I wear ear protection when I fly fish

Prescription glasses so I don't count for the real question. If I didn't wear them I'd shoot even worse.

When I'm hunting I'll wear a pair of wrap around yellow lens shooting glasses. Besides making everything a little clearer and "crisper" on overcast days, it's saved me a few times from branches and brambles swinging back and hitting my face.
