Combat Eye Protection

Combat eye protection frames and goggles for DoD personnel are a unit procurement responsibility. Please see your unit’s supply office (4-shop) for guidance.

While these protective devices are not ordered through NORA, compatible vision correcting optical inserts are. For details on inserts please visit our “Inserts” page,

Combat Eye Protection / Ballistic Eyewear and gas mask alone are protective, however they do not correct your vision and must be paired with an approved DOD fabricated vision correcting optical insert.
