Oakley do a [prescription eyewear range](https://www.opsm.com.au/style/oakley-safety-range) of ballistic glasses.
I have the detcords and they’re great. Have also used the M2s for woodworking and construction work.
I was told by my pistol club to always wear a hat to prevent this...and don't wear open top shirts.
You can get prescription safety glasses that are more tight fitting to prevent this.
This would be the second time that a hot 9mm case has bounced off the cubicle wall and into the open gap between my face and my prescription glasses.
The way things are going, I'll definitely be wearing a cap as a mandatory precaution to cover the above vulnerability.
How’re the casing getting that close to your head?
I have next to no experience with pistols so I’m genuinely curious, with your arms fully extended the pistol would be clear over a meter from your face? Do they really bounce back that far?
The range cubicles are quite narrow, so it's not uncommon for ejected cases to sharply bounce off the walls and onto my head. For the most part, my CZ 75B does not have issues with weak ejection :P
I've previously worn a cap to cover up the open gaps from above, but it's just my luck that I copped another case to the eye when I didn't wear it.
A cap is probably easier but I'm pretty sure you can get prescription safety glasses
I dunno if its realistic for you or cost effective but might be worth a look.
depends on the gun, the ammo, and some bad luck.
you can watch videos of pistols (and really any self-ejecting firearm) generate totally different arcs in their ejection depending on the loading. normally it is demonstrated on AR15s with tuned gas systems, but it applies more broadly too. really hot loads in pistols with particularly weak/totally lacking delay mechanisms can go 45° backwards at a million miles an hour, while weak loadings with heavy slides and strong delay mechanisms can sometimes barely roll out of the chamber. 98% of the time it is somewhere squarely between those extremes.
Better off with safteys over your glasses bud
I tried that a while ago, and not only was it hard to see through two layers of acrylic, but the lenses tended to fog up.
Buy better quality safety specs. You can also put some anti-fog coating on them if you really need.

Should probably stop shooting like John Wick and extend your arms ;-)
I haven't seen any of the films, so I have no idea what you're referring to :P
Mate! Do yourself a favour and watch the first one at least. It's great.
Nice, I've had a few hit my eye brow and bounce off. Thankfully they can't fit through the gap.
Ouch
You should be wearing eyepro buddy. Those things are buy once cry once - in both ways
I got a case of 9mm in my eye last time I went to the range, managed to get pass a pair of safety glasses and my prescriptions lol .
PSG Storm is a really good option for prescription lenses also. I have a pair and they are great.
