shooting glass prescription lens (where to go??)

I bought shooting glass lens from Neil from ISS before but does anyone have any other sources for prescription lenses for shooting glasses. Ex: champion, knobloch's, in 25mm, 37mm, 42mm. I heard some local places can make the bigger ones but not the 25mm?
It would be nice to just call into a shop and have them sent. I know other people maybe like me and want a few variations for different shooting. I shoot pistol, small bore and high power and each requires a slightly different lens.

I got mine done at Specsavers. They did both 25mm and 37mm for me.

Give the shop a sample to work from and they'll fix you up. They are just round lenses (very simple). Be sure to tell them to put notch in the lens where the clamp is. The lens can then be re-oriented if you remove it for any reason (critical for astigmatism).

You can call Andy Renfro at Knoxville Optical. Phone is 865-525-9586. Tell him Ed told you to call. He is as good as it gets. You may need to send him a lens to get the size exact as they are never exactly 25mm, 37mm etc.
