    Fogging can be an issue but you learn to deal with it. Breath out of your mouth instead of your nose...

      If you can get Lasic, I highly recommend it. There are places in Houston that will finance you with Zero interest. I had it done in 2012 and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Now I don't have to remember my glasses and my prescrip sun glasses etc every time I go out.

        Try adjusting your head a little. Assuming the target is at 12:00, I point my nose at 12:30-12:15 because that brings the lens of the glass to bear where your eye can make proper use of it. I started shooting my bow prior to getting glasses (discovered I needed them when trying to get my student driving permit.

          I plan on eventually getting surgery, but being a broke college kid, it's kinda hard. My ray bans (present for graduation) have polycarbonate lenses, so they double as shooting glasses, or any protective Eyewear that I need.

            I have to have them to read tbh or send text messages while in the stand, because any letters or small object at less than three feet I can't read. Very blurry. I can still shoot with out them. But I have to take on and off. I did buy prescription glasses I wear all the time now, except when shooting. I guess I need to learn and save a step.

              Been wearing glasses for sixty years now. Biggest problem I have when bow hunting is remembering to push them back up on my nose before sighting. They slip more sometimes when I have been sweating.

                No problems here though I prefer face paint to prevent fogging.

                  Used to hunt with glasses when I was younger and always had problems with them fogging up with a face mask on and when I looked through my binos I had to screw the eyepieces in all the way to see out if them. Switched to contacts in like 6th grade and that was the best decision I ever made. I can wear sunglasses without a prescription, I can see while I'm in the pool cuz I don't have to take them off in the pool, and everything's just easier. Can't wait to get LASIK when I get older and won't have to even worry about contacts.

                    I hate hunting in glasses but you can put a AR coating (antiglare) on them to cut down on this. The biggest problem I have is with them fogging up when looking through a scope or binoculars, especially if I have a face mask on. Good luck

                      I have also needed glasses from about the age of 17. So, the things I dont like are ,they fog up with a mask on. But I dont realy care for a mask any ways. And they make it difficult to use a spotting scope. The field of view through the spotting scope is quite small compared to non glasses, even with the eye cups adjusted for glasses. Other then those two things I dont mind wearing them. In fact there have been several times Iam glad I had glasses on. Riding in utv and gravel pops up and hits ya in the face. And I have had a bee hit me right in the lens while riding also. As far as glare I dont think I have ever had a problem, if you are worried about glare order them with anti glare coating. I dont, and have a few friends that hunt with glasses and they have never had problems either.
