Throughout most of my life, I've had excellent vision. When I hit 50 or so, my close focus point started getting farther and farther away. Eventually, I had to get reading glasses... Then stronger ones...
I'm older than that now, and I also have an astigmatism. I have scopes on most of my rifles, and even on a few of my handguns. Not every type of optics works for me. Reflex type sights, like the EOTechs are useless. All I see through those is a big red fuzz-ball with bright red spider webs running throughout.
I've tried the Meritt diopter type attachments for your glasses. Those work OK for target shooting, but not for hunting.
For target shooting with handguns, what has worked best is + diopter type type reading glasses, as long as I have a bold, distinct target down range. As long as I can see, I can still shoot respectably. For hunting, however, this doesn't work well.
I've been hesitant to try a corrective surgical fix. I really don't like the idea of having something that can't be undone, like slicing and dicing my eyes, or burning parts of them off with a laser.
What has worked for you? What hasn't? Would you do it again, knowing what you know now? Any other suggestions?
Thanks
