Buyer's Guide to Shooting Glasses
Shooters of all kinds require eye protection, whether at the range or in the field. Facing the possibility of ricochets, flying objects (ejecting shells, etc), wind, sun and dust, it only makes sense to use a good pair of shooting glasses for eye protection. But when searching for a quality pair of shooting glasses, what factors do you look at to help make an educated purchase?We'd recommend evaluating the following components when making your decision:?Lens ?Lens Impact Resistance ?Lens UV protection ?Lens Coverage Let's look at each one in more detail:- Lens: A very important feature to consider. For shooting applications, Polycarbonate is the best lens material available on the market today. Polycarbonate is a type of LEXAN? from G.E., the same material used for bullet resistant glass in autos.
- Lens Impact Resistance: Lens color, fit, etc. are all important, but they become a mute point if the lens won't properly protect the eye.
Look for lens with high impact resistance ratings.
- Lens UV protection: UV radiation is the low frequency light waves produced by the sun. To provide adequate protection, look for shooting glasses that absorb at least 99% of UV radiation.
- Lens Coverage: Another crucial element to consider. It's imperative that the lens adequately cover enough of the eye area to provide proper protection. This is especially important for the side areas of the eye. Look for lens that wrap around past the sides of the eye for complete coverage.- Prescription Lens - Many quality shooting glasses can be made with prescription (sometimes called RX) lens to suit most shooters needs. Today, lens can even be made in specialized configurations such as bi-focal views.

Trouble Sleeping? Colored Glasses Cure Insomnia
University Heights, OH (ContentDesk) March 23, 2006 -- Half of Americans claim they dont sleep well. Artificial light from lamps, TV or computer screens in use in the hours before bedtime may be the major source of the sleep problem. It is well known that exposing the eyes to light prevents the pineal gland from making melatonin, the sleep hormone. Nerve fibers run from the eyes to the pineal gland and control when it produces melatonin and other hormones.
It has only been knows for several years that not all colors of light cause the suppression of melatonin.
It is the light at the blue end of the visible spectrum that prevents melatonin production. This means that light bulbs can be made that do not eliminate melatonin secretion by coating them with filters that remove the blue rays that interfere with sleep. TV and computer screens may also be fitted with filters that remove the blue light that is creating sleep problems. An even more practical way to avoid the sleep...
