Most know I recently went through double eye cataract surgery and this past Thursday afternoon I finally received my two new pair glasses......both are progressive / no line bifocals, one pair is clear and the other is polarized sunglasses and I can see great with them.
But.
Where before the surgery and wearing my old pre-op glasses I could see my sights just fine but the target was a tad fuzzy now it's the other way around.......I can only see my sights clear if I tilt my head way back to where I'm looking through the bifocal which is unnatural, if you think about it when shooting a handgun most folks bring their gun up and slightly cant their heads downward to align the sights.
I went back to the optician Friday and explained what was going on and he suggested that since my distance vision is fine without glasses (only a slight correction needed for distance in my new glasses) maybe spending another $200.00 - $300.00 to make a pair of shooting glasses with the bifocal on top and clear / no prescription on the bottom might be a option for me.
I got to looking around on this thing and found that my predicament is not all that uncommon among bifocal wearing shooters and having the bifocal on top normally solves the problem and that there are outfits that make shooting glasses for this and for considerably less than 2-$300.00.
