Eye Blinder with Irus

I'm looking for a clip on eye blinder for my prescription glasses with an irus and everywhere I've searched is either out of stock or in Europe. Anyone know a place in the US of A where one can be purchased?  Thanks in advance.

Ballards may be weaker,

Merit makes an iris that uses a suction cup that attaches to your shooting glasses. Several guys I shot bullseye with used them and liked them.

Discontinued everywhere. The Merit website still exists, but it unfortunately appears that the company is no longer producing anything.

I shot Bullseye for thirty-five years and used one periodically but gave up on the device. I'll look in my range box and if it's still there it's yours. It's not a fancy one like Creedmoor sells but may work for you. As I recall it clamps to your glasses

Found it in my range box drawer but my images are too big to attach here and too much hassle. Sent you a PM

Rick

Simpler blinder often used by shotgun shooters try Decot HiWide. I use mine on shotgun glasses. Rifle shooting, when there is adverse light

I have one made by Gehman.  Looks like the one in the picture above. I used it for air pistol and free pistol. Worked great to define the front sight. However, for rifle shooting, you’re better served with one on the rear sight. Several available for target style sights.

I have one coming from  Burntwater, thanks very much? A 1 gentleman 

I'm trying  to stretch my abilities to continue with open sights. Currently shooting aperture front and rear. I had rigged up a temporary iris on my glasses and it helps my focus. Sooner or later I will have to succumb to scopes or quit, hopefully this crutch will gain me a few years.
