What is the difference between "shooting" and "safety" glasses?

+0
−0

The local shooting range requires eye protection, when I look on Amazon there are "shooting glasses" in the hunting section, and then there are "safety glasses" in other sections.

From what I can tell, there isn't much of a difference between the two, they both protect from UV and are made from plastic, is there an actual difference (besides marketing) between the two?

Safety glasses would presumably meet some safety standard, for example impact resistance, and the standard so meet would be cited.

Shooting glasses might offer some impact resistance (or other protection...), but wouldn't have to meet the standard.
