I've had these glasses for several months now, and they have been great. I use the clear lens for shooting indoors and in low light conditions. I use the rose colored lens for daytime outdoors. The smoke is too dark for me. I use progressive lens in my prescription, and I have the optimal set up in my lens for shooting. It pays to speak to an optometrist who knows shooting, as you can explain your needs. My biggest problem has been reflection. The double lens set up causes interior light to reflect on the outer lens. While easy to adapt to, I would give these a much higher rating if I could somehow eliminate that reflection. Outdoors, I have experienced no problems with reflection.

Would recommend:  no

This insert may work fine for a person using single lens glass, but for bifocal and progressive users, the insert has a serious flaw. There should be a wire or metal frame, allowing it to be adjusted to fit the individual nose. Without the ability to adjust the nosepiece and frame to accommodate individual eye differences, it is very difficult to allign the eyes and the lens.

I bought the RX inser for my ESS Ice glasses. I had my Opician put my normal progressive rx in my right eye and the left (dominant) eye received a prescription for closer in to allow me to see my sights clearly but still see the targets. This set up has worked very well for me in Action pistol Sports and general target shooting. This set up is much less expensive than some prescription shooting glasses I checked into.
