Plus, you can get tactical glasses at comparable prices as a quality pair of safety glasses. This is similar to ANSI safety glasses, but ballistic eyewear can withstand projectile impacts of much higher velocities. However, it’s better to choose eyewear that satisfies the Military Combat Eye Protection System’s (MCEPS) strict testing protocols. Some suggest an impact rating that at least meets ANSI’s Z87.1 standard (the rating for safety eyewear) for shooting glasses. For the indoor range, however, you’ll want a pair of impact-resistant eye pro with clear or Tiger’s Eye lenses–depending on the lighting conditions in the facility. But, when it’s time to hunker down and stay dry, sight in a new scope or train, what shooting glasses should you turn to? Outdoor tactical eye protection is fairly simple – toss on your pair of tinted ballistic glasses. If you’re like us, you’d rather plink outdoors than shoot at paper targets at an indoor range any day. In short, if you’re on a jobsite, wear safety glasses if you’re on the range or on patrol, wear tactical eyewear (although you could always wear MCEPS eyewear on a jobsite for extra protection). The Military Combat Eye Protection System (MCEPS) standard tests glasses with a 22-caliber projectile traveling at 660 feet per second, whereas the American National Standards Association’s (ANSI Z87.1 and Z87.1+) requirements are at much lower velocities. Tactical eyewear, on the other hand, is put to the test to promise impact protection against the most extreme projectile velocities. Safety glasses are tested to ensure they can protect your eyesight against hazards found on jobsites, warehouses, factories or other industrial environments. Safety glasses and tactical eyewear differ in their respective impact resistance. At the shooting range? You’ll definitely want some ballistic-rated eye pro. Sitting on the couch at home? No worries (although you may want some blue light-blocking glasses for your nightly scrolling). The risks to eyesight vary in each environment. ![]()
