My eyes are pretty horrible uncorrected, and it is occasionally still difficult to shoot accurately with my perscription glasses. So I picked up an AmeriMark clip-on pinhole glasses. These really do work well by making it easier for the eye to focus on open iron sights. Instead of having to fuss around with adjusting a standard aperture lens (which usually attach to shooting lenses with a suction-cup), the many holes on the AmeriMark glasses allow the eyes to naturally pick the correct aperture.
They're not allowed during my Army rifle qualifications, but for my recreational range time I picked up a set. They go for $20.
After starting to use these, I found that my eyes suffered much less strain and my accuracy improved by a significant amount, especially on my pistols & rifles with hard-to-see sight blades. If I was having problems grouping at 100m (109.36yds), by using these I'd be able to stretch out the distance by another 50m and still shoot good groups. I've never zero'ed or record grouped at less than 300m (on milspec 25/300m zero targets).
The only downside to them is that they reduce available light to the eyes, and they're not rated as safety glasses.
Therefore, the clip-on version would be preferrable as they could be attached to a set of regular safety shades.
