hey everyone... im looking for a nice set of eyewear for general use and shooting use as well as outdoors/hunting.. currently, i dont have any safety eyewear so im pretty vulnerable should a riccochet, casing, dust, or whatever else could get into my eyes and i was looking for some advice as to what i could use for this purpose?

so, since id like these for shooting, hunting, and outdoor use, they would need to be very durable, and stay on the face pretty well, as well as offer good coverage around the eyes, and since there isnt a shooting range here, they would need to be tinted...

heres the problem though, i have an astigmatism and because of such, the lenses need to be relatively flat which eliminates any, and all wrap-style sunglasses... which leaves flat sunglasses that tend to leave spaces above, below, and around the sides of the eyes exposed making it hard to see anything...

so.. suggestions?
