I don't have terrible vision; around -0.25 in one eye and -0.75 in the other, but I just got my prescription updated, which was at least 2 years old. I'd lost my previous pair of glasses so had been wearing my 3-year old ones for matches/target shooting, and they're fine. I can see the front sight clearly. At distance things become more blurry, but whaddayagonnado...
Anywho, I put my new prescription glasses on and went to the range, and.... what the heck? Why can't I see the front sight? Ah. Lifted my glasses up to my forehead, and lo and behold, the front sight is sharp again.
I used my old prescription glasses in the past couple matches, and I've tried shooting at the range using my new ones, with mixed results. If I have a bright FO front sight on a gun I can mostly hit the plates at 18 yards but the front sight is definitely not sharp.
I guess I'll just use my old glasses for matches until the frames break or the lenses get too scratched up. Maybe I'll order a pair of glasses using my older prescription specifically for shooting.
Like my dad used to say... getting old isn't for wimps.
I'm not even 50 yet. This sucks. LOL
