If I can see the target, I can't see my sights. If I can see the sights on my gun, I can't see the target. Now that I finally have the resources and time to get into shooting as a hobby and a sport, my eyes are shot. Is there anything I can do??
Started needing reading glasses three years ago, finally bought some two years ago, started wearing them last year, still haven't started bringing them everywhere I go yet. That day is coming. I am guessing this is the normal progression of events??
Just got my first pair of bifocals to wear over my contacts. While my contacts correct for distance (-5.50 in each eye), my glasses correct for my astigmatism, and give me a 1.75 magnification for reading. I got them in polycarb so I could wear them to shoot with. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
The reading part works up to 24" or so...but my stance puts my gun at 36" to 38", so, no dice on the current bifocals to shoot with. The distance portion makes it so I can see targets perfectly!! But, the gun is just a blur. So, I am sad.
Has anyone else had this issue? What have you done about it? Trifocals? Are there optometrists who can help me with this issue? I don't even know what the issue is, except that I want to see both the target AND my gun!!
