Studabubba's Review of Wiley X P-17 Rx Prescription Sunglasses
This was my second prescription glasses that i have ordered and received from optics planet. For the second time the prescription eye-wear customer service team was helpful in answering my questions and thorough in their followup with me to confirm i was getting the correct frame/lens for my needs. I got this pair for shooting and other outdoor needs as well as needing a pair of rated safety glasses. After receipt of the glasses i am more than pleased with the eye-wear. They are actually superb - everyday wearable sunglasses. For the shooting positions prone and barricade as well as transitions to new targets they offer a great field of vision and very clear lenses. In addition the safety rating should be addressed because it has according to WileyX "meets ANSI Z87.1-2010 High Velocity and High Mass Impact Standards as well as US Federal OSHA 1910.133(b)(1)(1) Standards". after looking those things up I found in short it means they have passed two tests. 1. - A lens retention test is conducted via a “high mass” impact. A pointed 500 gm (1.1 lb) projectile is dropped 50 inches onto the complete protector mounted on a headform. and 2- A high velocity test is conducted, at 6 specified impact points, where the projectile is a ¼ inch steel ball traveling at specific speeds depending upon the type of protector. For spectacles, the velocity is 150 ft/sec or 102 mph.
to sum up - The glasses are the real deal.
