[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 778350, member: 796"] "Computer glasses" are single-vision prescription glasses that focus at the customary distance from your eyes to a computer screen to reduce eyesrtrain. For pistol shooting, I asked for my single-vision shooting glasses prescription to be written for a distance of 4 feet from my eyes, so the front sight is the first thing I focus on. I have been shooting at slightly fuzzy targets for years and advise you to look at the front sight if you are beyond point shooting range. Have you noticed the name of the official USPSA magazine? For point shooting, I drop the handgun slightly and look at the target. It is physically impossible to focus on both the front sight and a distant target at the same time with iron sights. For someone who is 30, the eyes can rapidly focus from one to the other, but with age comes decreasing "accomodation" capability to shift focus back and forth, which is why bifocals and trifocals were invented. But don't try shooting action pistol with trifocals on. :cry3: [/QUOTE]
