Well I did it. New glasses with a lenses for shooting, computers and anything else you can do from 3 feet away from your eyes. I have only gone shooting once since I got them but the difference is amazing. Not only was the front sight not in focus but I don't rush my shot. I still have to train myself to use both eyes. Closing one eye was an attempt to get better focus, a bad habit. Anyway, much better shooting and much less stress. When I shoot again I will have gotten used to the trifocals and it should be even easier.

Glad you can see better, I was getting nervous when things started being out of focus and I about felt crosseyed.
I too lucked out and only needed reading glasses.

This time around with my Ophthalmologist, I'm going to ask for the same thing. We talked shooting on my last visit, he volunteered that he has done some African Safari shooting, and that his office nurse has a Carry Permit and always has a Glock close at hand.
Gonna pay for it with pre-tax Flex Spending, I'm not sure if I'm going to get a set of shooting only glasses, or go for the all purpose tri-focals.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I have got some trifocals I had made for work mainly for looking up at work above my head. Can't stand 'em. The demarcation between focal points is way to abrupt and extreme.
I have come to prefer the no line progressive lenses. Now for sighting guns you can dial in different distances but you have to tilt your head up and look down your nose or set the glasses way up high on your nose. These are made for reading.
I want to see if the lens can be made to put the progressive portion of the lens on top. This way it won't be good at all for reading but for looking down a barrel it would excel.
Maybe it would be too much to expect progressive grinding top and bottom, 'eh?
Still nothing works with your glasses or natural sight as good as the peep sight. I'm amazed at the clarity everything takes on in sighting down the barrel. Opp's I take that back I forgot about reflex sights.
Endeavor to persevere,
Press on regardless.
