Finding over-ear gear that works well with glasses can be problematic, tho

At the risk of sounding like a shill, I recently picked up a set of Noisefigher Sightlines (https://noisefighters.com). They're replacement ear pads with a notch cut out for glasses. My glasses don't fit in perfectly, but the frames put noticeably less pressure on my head now.

All firearm hearing protection is meant to be used with glasses. If the design is tested in the real world, it would be tested with glasses.

Laser eye surgery is a fantastic choice as well, tbh.

I've heard too many nightmare stories, even from people who went to the most reputable providers. Not gonna screw with my vision, thanks.

Laser eye surgery is a fantastic choice for many people, especially people who are nearsighted, under 40, and don't have any contraindications. It's less effective[1] and riskier[2] for farsightedness, and there's only so much it can do for presbyopia. It's also riskier for people who have autoimmune disorders, immune deficiencies, diabetes, or dry eyes.

It's also great for correcting astigmatism. The nearsightedness that I got corrected was reasonably well managed by glasses, but my astigmatism was compensated for by my brain. I got noticeably more well-coordinated after laser eye surgery freed up visual processing ability this way, and I've heard other anecdotal evidence of this phenomena as well.

I pity the poor fool who tries to point a laser at my eye.
