Nothing fancy or expensive, just normal styles. You&#39;re authorized to pick up a new set of those every year.

I had to wear the pair I got in the last couple years when I dropped my glasses and then stepped on them. Way better than the ones even in 2004. <br /><br />When you get to your duty station and if you need new glasses, yes there are several different frame options to choose from. When I first came in there was maybe 2. Now there&#39;s several. <br /><br />It depends on the base you&#39;re at. One time I got prescription sunglasses. I think I was at the Air Force base though...yes. When I was at Offutt I asked about prescription sunglasses. The tech said they usually only issued it out for people who had a certain job but since I had such a strong prescription she said she&#39;d put in an order for me. That&#39;s the only place I&#39;ve gotten prescription sunglasses. <br /><br />They also do a contact lens exam for you. The Army won&#39;t issue contacts, but they will test your eyes to write down the prescription to take in and get contacts on your own that you pay for - if that&#39;s an interest. I think they give a trial pair but that&#39;s it.
