Hi. Been wanting to get into paintball now, since i have the money. But, I'm very near sighted and have to wear glasses. And before people say "Contacts" I don't like them. The thought putting my finger in my eye is...well...I don't want to do it. Does anyone know if there is prescription masks or perhaps a larger model mask that can fit glasses? Thanks.

Also any other general info about paintballing would be nice. Cleaning tips, what to look for in buying guns, what accessories are good or a waste of time/money, etc. Thanks!

Everywhere I've been to (since I wear glasses, too) have masks with eye fittings that fit over them just fine. (Don't have my own kit 'cos I don't do it that much.) Have you checked out where the paintball places get their inhouse masks from?

No, because the shop I've been to (which is also a field to play at) doesn't have much in the way of masks beyond sizes. Even their largest size is too small to fit my glasses in comfortably. Tried it with my glasses inside the helmet, and it is very uncomfortable...borderline hurts even. It also doesn't help that I have a big head...
