After the lenses have been corrected by an optometrist, the Vice Rx Lens Insert snaps into any of the following ESS products: ESS Crossbow Eyeshield. The end result is a lightweight, low-profile prescription integration that is compatible with numerous ESS ballistic eyeshields. Near the end when I only had a couple missions left, my PSG looks over and sees me wearing glasses one afternoon (I didn't wear contacts 24/7 at night when off duty) and he says "you wear glasses" and gives me a funny look but doesn't say anything further. The ESS Vice Rx Lens Insert features a metal and mono-filament frame. ESS ballistic sunglasses, eyeshields and goggles for Military, Law Enforcement, Firefighting, Shooting and Hunting.

So I go back to wearing the contacts, no further problems. Get a bunch of sand in my eyes, throw that pair of contacts away and wear glasses for about a week while my eyes recover. Not one of those puny dust storms that puts a little haze in the air, one of those Satan-is-coming-better-get-right-with-God kinda dust storms I had seen on the teevee but not in real life. First day I arrive in Iraq again our 1SG says "go get something to eat and we'll get you set up with a CHU." On the way back from the DEEPHAQT I look over and there's a dust storm arriving. Immediately got enough contacts for a year overseas. Get out, get called back up again from IRR. Each strap contains a circular grommet that snaps on and off the two mounting brackets, which attach to a helmet brim with no drilling required. I said never again, and was determined that if I ever wound up in that part of the world again I was gonna have contacts. The ESS FirePro-1977 EX model features a two-piece strap system with Snap-on/Snap-off helmet mounting brackets. One time I literally had to drop my eyepro down my nose and just adjust the backfocus on my NODs for my nearsightedness. Found out the hard way that there's no way to keep glasses of any sort from fogging up when it's humid and night falls. I don't remember if contacts were forbidden in the field, but they were on deployment.įirst deployment I did the good soldier thing and followed the regs.
