[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 3506458, member: 2833"] I had LASIK done 10 years ago, I was 48 at the time and had been near sighted and wearing glasses since 5th grade. At about 45 I was losing the ability to see up with the glasses on and went to bifocals. I had been able to read with no glasses but that was also going away, pretty much normal aging of the eye. I had the LASIK done and could see better than 20/20 after words but needed readers for close work and reading.But, I could see iron sights! I experienced the typical side effects, dry eyes, halos around lights at night... They all faded to insignificance within a few months. I have gotten by with drug store readers ever since. I have one magnification that I carry for day to day needs and some stronger ones that I keep for doing close, delicate work. I also have multiple pairs of safety glasses with reader bifocals that are scattered around the shop and about anyplace I might need them. My wife teases me that I only got it done so that I could wear the "cool" sunglasses. If I had it to do over again I would do it in a heartbeat. The last several years the near vision has gotten to where I could no longer see iron sights clearly. I read a post on another shooting forum that turned me on to lower power readers. I have a set of .5X safety readers that allows me to see sights and target. [/QUOTE]
