Shooting glasses are used as a visual aid for sport shooting. Though the glasses are extremely customizable, most pairs contain three basic elements: a lens, a mechanical iris, and a semi-transparent occluder. These components work together to help shooters focus their aiming eye on three points well enough to align the distant target with their gun's front and rear sight elements at the same time.
Shooting glasses are specialized corrective glasses for use in shooting and are used almost exclusively in sport shooting competitions.[1][2]
Like other glasses, they are worn in front of the eyes to compensate for the shooter's ametropia with optical lenses.
