Does anyone know if its possible to get airsoft clip-on lenses to put over normal glasses? As someone who wears glasses its a pain to wear a mask over them. I now that i can get goggles with inserts, but they still seem bulky.

There are many slim shooting glasses that take RX inserts, so they don't have to be bulky. There are also some lenses for goggles that are made to sit over glasses

For several reasons, you won't get lenses that clip onto glasses, among which are lack of full seal, physical lens thickness and optical distortion.
You can, however, get some ballistic rated glasses that take Rx lenses in an insert. You can also get goggles, as you say, and not all are as bulky as others.

I'm, personally, stone blind without glasses, with a shockingly bad -7 prescription strength. Even at that, I still managed to get comfortable glasses with good lens inserts that give me perfect viewing. Bollé do a great range of them - the Raiders being my choice - most of which have an insert to slide in behind the seal to accept lenses made by your optician. Just drop them in and get them made.

I got the Raiders in Hobby Airsoft, but due to my heavy prescription, I had a hard time finding someone to make lenses to suit. Dixon Hempenstall in Dublin city sorted me out - they seem to have a specialty with safety, ballistic and sports glasses/goggles- but try opticians near you. Some do them, some don't. I know one person who had them done in Specsavers, but they turned me away, so it's down to your Rx strength.
