    There was a neat little clop on loupe that came with 3 lenses + .5, + .75 and +.1 this allowed you to tune your glasses to the best sight picture. The loupe was n a spring loaded swivel and could be raised out of vision when not in use. It was called Clearsight. What I really liked about it was with different lenses you could tune for pistol or rifle front sights. Some would take 1 lens off of flip up sunglasses to blind the off eye helping the shooting eye to focus. As far as I know the Clearsight unit is no longer made. It was a handy unit in that it just clipped on the regular glasses bow and wasnt noticed.

    Glasses came in early. Wow i was surprised when i put them on. Everything looks bigger lol. Tomorrow i plan on trying them shooting. Playing around at home i can see the sights much better inside. Tried them at the reloading bench. Not as good as my cheaters. So ill stick with the cheaters when working on ammo. I also run into things walking around with them on. Guess depth perception is off. They told me to be careful driving with them as i get used to them.

    I find the same thing in the reloading room. I’m better off either with no glasses or with readers over my regular prescription glasses, depending of course on what I’m doing. If loading, priming or doing anything that might go “bang” I’ll wear over the counter bifocal safety glasses that meet ANSI standards. Looking down the ammunition is in focus and looking ahead the rest of the room is in focus. I’m fortunate that my range for not needing correction is from computer screen distance to about 7-8 feet.

    I use the same OTC safety glasses or prescription safety glasses in the gunsmithing and machining room.

    Hi...
    Same issue here.
    Still able to shoot handguns quite well but adjusting to the trifocals was a bit of a struggle.
