Im to that point where Im going to have to get some prescription glasses for daily wear, or do something, and especially for handgun shooting.
I had progressive trifocals about 15 years ago, screwed them up at work, and havent worn any since. My eyes actually got better, and I really havent needed anything but Walmart "cheaters" (1.5x or so), for reading the "fine stuff". For daily wear at work and play, I just normally wear my safety/sunglasses.
Ive had a couple of eye exams, and asked a couple of eye docs about that now, but they dont want to hear it or talk about it and tell me I need prescription glasses. My eyes are definitely better than they were when I first wrecked those trifocals, and Ive got my theories, but I digress.
What I am wondering, and I havent talked to anyone yet, but Im wondering if anyone has had glasses made, like a bifocal, but with the "power" lens, in the upper 1/4" of the lens (instead of the bottom), where you would be looking, with your head just ever so slightly down, while shooting a handgun and looking out over the sights.
Right now, without some power, Im having a lot harder time seeing the sights, or at least, they are really fuzzed out, and not clear and sharp. If I use my cheaters, I can get a nice clear, sharp sight picture, and stll see the target fine, but its fuzzed out. The cheaters are too strong for normal daily wear, so they would be the heavier power normally seen in the lower bifocal. I just want that up top.
I really dont want, or really need to wear glasses all day, and I dont want glasses just for shooting, and glasses for everything else, if I do end up getting some. If I have to wear glasses, I want one pair, that will be workable to shoot with too, or whats the point?
Has anyone seen anything like that, or had something similar done?
