Prescription glasses are allowed - both competitors are wearing them. Those lens can correct for short sightedness, astigmatism etc, but they're the exact same lens you find in eyeglasses. I used to wear these - I bought the shooting glasses off the shelf (or rather our club got them in bulk for us), then to get the lens made, I went to the exact same optical store where I got my prescription glasses made and basically told them to just order one lens for my right eye.
What I meant by magnification was, you can't put optics on it so it works like a 2x scope. So the lens can make stuff look less blurry but not make it look bigger.
If they don't magnify why do they make people's eyes look bigger
Well, then I guess they wouldn't be allowed to wear them backwards.
Glasses actually make everything we see smaller, though the effect is lessened the closer the glasses are to the correct distance from our eyes. And the reason glasses change the perceived size of the wearers' eyes is because they specifically are bending light to change how it hits our eyes.
If the glasses are for someone who is farsighted, they make their eyes look bigger, if they are to correct nearsightedness, they make the eyes look smaller.
And actually, despite what I say in my first sentence, they don't even make stuff bigger when you wear them backwards. That effect is limited to the distance eyes are away from the lenses normally, beyond that things are actually still smaller even when looking through them backwards. How much smaller depends on how far they are from your eye.
