I have been a professional firearms instructor for half of my life, having had many clients with similar concerns as yours and again talking to many professional competition shooters whom can actually shed a low cost to you simple explanation of what to do in your case.

Go to a shopping store in your area and look for their eyeglasses section, try on a few pairs with lower or higher prescription than yours; now hold out your hand making sure you can focus on your finger nails which will act as the sights to your firearm, the reason you do this is the front sight on a firearm is where your eye focus should be the target will be somewhat blurred, but you can still see both the target and your firearm's sights. These two aspects are the most important to any shooter whom is in your situation, also just wear your glasses, to over-do-it with multiple glasses it is not safer; it will cause you to focus elsewhere instead on your surroundings and your firearm.

Leave your old expensive glasses at home and use the ones you got at your local convenience store for the range.

Yes we are very much aware of the new up and coming public range that was proposed and that the Hawaiian community desperately needs to maintain a safe shooting habit; however, we are also reminded that bureaucracy and progress are often slow to act. Hopefully not to slow for the shooting activists of the Big Island, Hawaii.
