I recently purchased my first ever prescription shooting glasses. In theory, both Boots and Specsavers could supply but only with their existing sunglasses frames and neither had any idea what I was talking about when I mentioned impact resistance, tint options or polycarbonate. No blame for either company as they supply prescription sunglasses all the time, it's just that shooting glasses are such a small part of the business that the staff have no experience.
After some fannying around I ordered from Optilabs. A good start was that they actually answered the phone - unlike their main competitor - and they clearly knew what they were doing as they answered my questions very well. I also thought that if they're good enough for Becky McKenzie then they're certainly good enough for me.
No regrets at all, decent price, <2weeks delivery and amazingly bright and clear view. I recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to stump up silly money for the top brand.
p.s. I went with the ProVision frames which are exactly the same as the Zeiss Sport ones.
