[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2840298, member: 385"] Neither progressives or bifocals were not iron sight friendly, either for handgun or rifle shooting. While at the eye doc doing a regular exam I had him write a second one. This second one had the same script in my non-master eye. For the dominant eye, the script was for a crystal sharp focus at about 36". That's about perfect for that sharp "see-the-lint-in-the-front-sight" picture necessary for good iron sight handgun shooting. That same script works fine for iron sighted rifles, from the AR-15 types on out to the antique military long bolt guns. That 36" inch script is for the whole lens; no bifocal or progressive at all in it. Apply the script to a special set of glasses you will use primarily for shooting. I reused some large lens frames I already owned to keep cost down. Good idea to make these lens at least OSHA thickness hard coated or polycarbonate. This setup does work for me for "both eyes open" shooting when I want to do that. [/QUOTE]
