[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1011355, member: 6145"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I[COLOR="Blue"] have a differnt problem. My eye doctor prescribed TWO DIFFERENT prescriptions for each eye. My left eye is corrected to see far and my right eye is corrected to see close up. I shoot right handed. Does this change anything?[/COLOR] i take it you are older and have lost the ability to see up close. You and/or your dr. choose to have what is called 'mono' vision. instead of both eyes focusing up close and both eyes focusing far awary, you have one eye focusing close and one eye focusing far away - thus 'mono' vision. this is not natural but we can adjust to this and it works good for some people when they get old and their up close vision. 1st determine which eye is dominate. Since the dr choose your left eye for the distance contact, it is probably the left eye. if the left if dominate: [INDENT]simply shoot right handed but use your left eye on the sights, this will mean you will move the gun a little towards center of your chest to see the sights with the left eye. This does not work with shotguns or rifles.[/INDENT] If your right is dominate, and your Dr. has the "close up" contact in this eye, then: 1. you cannot use you right eye to shoot a pistol (well you can but you can't see far out of it) 2. close your right eye and use your left eye (i know two eyes are better) 3. ask your dr to change eye has the distance vs close contact. he probably won't want to to this is your left eye is dominate. Bottom line, if you do not shoot shotgun and/or rifle, no problem, use your left eye and right handed. if you do shoot shotgun and/or rifle you have some work to do. [/QUOTE]
