    Shooting glasses.

    Came by a pair of shooting glasses recently.

    They have a blinder, a left hand side panel and a clear 23mm lens. I would like to change the lens for one a little less strong but with maybe a yellow tint?

    Is this at all do-able?

    Yes, it is. If your chosen optician oesn't have experience with shooting glasses they may need the old lens to get the new one to the right shape.

    Prescription is typically distance + a bit; + 0.5 for rifle, and +.50 -/+.75 for pistol.

    Dont worry about the missing right hand side panel. Side blinders are now banned so you can throw the left one away as well :-)

    Only under ISSF Rules. If the OP is shooting under NSRA or other rules then they are OK.

    I got mine made at the local Spec Savers. I asked first about bringing the pistol in but there was no problem and they offered a tinted option. I had the lens the same day.

    Just give your optician the lens holder and he will make you a prescription lens to fit and one that meets your focal length requirements.
    When my eyesight began to deteriorate my local optician made a lens to fit my Knobloch frames. Years later when I was having trouble getting a clear image I bought yellow and orange filters (optical quality) which clipped over the lens holder thus providing two additional levels of light reduction/image enhancement but using the same lens - cheaper than buying 3 different lenses!
