It must be horrible being the poors, your gunfights don’t come with appointments and reminder notifications?For me it's Ameriglo Hackathorne's, until I have to go to a red dot.
Reading glasses give me a great focus on the front sight. Just can't figure how to find the time to put them on early in the gunfight?
I also had shooting glasses made. I had focal length set at finger tip distance. They work great.
BUT... the Sig 365 SAS fiber optic sight is visible enough for me to shot without any glasses. My astigmatism shows two circles but when aligned properly, also has two dots inside of those two circles.
I had glasses made just for shooting, my optometrist let me bring two firearms in his office when I had my appointment.
I also sometimes use a Merit eye glasses diopter. Lyman qlso makes a cheaper one.

I too use the Merit Optical Attachment. Been using one since the mid 80's. Great way to have the target, front sight and rear sight all in focus.
Dang!
Hop Be Shootin GANSTA...
I tried this with contacts. I put one in my dominant eye that was set to see close so I could read texts better (and see my front sight). I tried it for a week or so. Couldn't get the hang of it.I'm hoping they would be for daily use. Just wonder how my brain will handle it if my left eye has the regular bifocal and my right eye is focused on the front sight making things at 30ft slightly out of focus.
My impression was to put the distance in the dominant eye? I know we're talking about seeing the front sight here but my impression was dominant for distance.I tried this with contacts.

Figured I would work thru the headaches, but trying to see out doing other things was too much of a pain. Sometimes I work on stuff up close and sometimes I work on stuff at distance.
Didn't want to get in the habit of needing special glasses that I might not have with me if I needed them emergency wise.
I know people who have done the mono vision and grown to like it. I can't say what they do on a regular basis where they would need both eyes the same tho.

I was worried I was going to have to try this and then found an eye doctor that was extremely confidant he could fix me up with bifocal contacts and he was right, it's fantastic. I also have progressive glassesaand wear them some too.
Now the rain is gone?My wife has trifocals and can see her sites clearly now!!!
