Allowed

  • Black plastic, full-frame only. Solid black frames that fully encircle the lens. No metal, no flashy trims
  • Clear, prescription lenses. Stick to standard, transparent lenses (no tints, no filters)

These will give you a claim of $40 if the receipt is dated after enlistment. Make sure you ask your S1 branch about this!

Not allowed

  • Half-rim or rimless frames
  • Coloured or patterned arms (no logos either)
  • Tinted lenses and sunglasses
  • Dangly chains or big logos

When in doubt, just buy "birth control glasses"

Remember,

  • Matte finish is the way to go. Prefer non reflective surfaces
  • Bring a spares set
  • Prefer avoiding contact lenses, at least for BMT
