Does the FFL make glasses for people who wear them, or recruits use their own? I believe in the US military, they're required to wear special ones with these thick frames (fondly referred to as BCG's, "Birth Control Glasses", because no one is going to want you with how ugly they are  ). Just curious if I need to up my prescription by a slight amt, would it be better to get the new glasses here, or not necessary because I'd only wear BCGs during training anyway.

I see it's been a while since you’ve posted, but I just wanted to ask—how did you end up adjusting to the new glasses? Sometimes I find it takes me a few days to really feel comfortable with a new pair, especially if the frame style or prescription changes. Have you found any tips that worked well for you when getting used to them?

I’ve had the same struggle finding a pair that doesn’t feel weird after a few days. What helped me was going through a bunch of styles at https://oyosight.com/collections/frame-on-eyeglasses and picking ones based on shape and fit rather than just look. Some frames I thought wouldn’t suit me actually ended up feeling great. Just took some trial and error until I got something comfy for daily wear.
