You guys are something else, as an American I have to ask this question.............................
Don't you have any cheap bastards in Canada who understand how a camera aperture works?
I'm 63 and have chronologically gifted eyesight and also watch what Olympic Shooters use in competition.
Below shooting glasses costing big bucks that put a big dent in your wallet.

What a cheap bastard uses, a cheap pair of flip up sun glasses with a small hole drilled in the plastic lens.
NOTE: Below are for shooting a rifle and the hole is off center, for a pistol the hole would be in the center of the lens.
F-stop and the hole in my sunglasses explained.......watch the birdie.
Now stop your #####ing and crying and drill a small hole.

One thing that you should do is get your glasses a bit higher than usual. When you take aim, your head tilts downward slightly, and having oversized shooting glasses that have more area toward the top allows you to look through the lens. With regular sized glasses, there is a distinct possibility of looking OVER the top rim of the lens and not through the lens.
Also, when I was shooting pistol a lot, I had a bit of a rubber suction cup that had a hole through the center. It sure tightened up groups, and acted sort of like a peep sight that was attached to your glasses. Don't know if you can still buy them though.

Those are excellent, where do I find them?

If the SHTF during a Zombie attack and I loose my glasses I'll just switch to my AR15 and lay down plenty of suppressing fire.![]()
You make them yourself out of ordinary shooting eye protection, and epoxy on an iris diaphragm. This one is about 35 bucks:

Some camera gurus might know where to get them cheap. For 50 bucks you should have a good adjustable system going. The adjustment would be really useful.
You could use clear lenses and not drill a hole.
Fortunately we don't have zombies north of 49- because we're not allowed enough mag. capacity for suppressing fire. Best we can do is pick 'em off one by one with an SMLE or Garand.
Found the flip-up sunglasses: $16.49 on Amazon (of course.)
