Curious how others in my...ahem...age range deal with progressive bifocals while shooting?
My anchor and sight line tends to push my vision into the progressive section which blurs the view. I had Lasik years ago, so my distance vision is still 20-20. Solution now is I just take my glasses off to shoot. While that's okay for practice its a pain if I need to see any Up close detail, like for fussing with a string nock, or to read in a tree stand, or see my phone etc.
I was thinking I might get a second pair of glasses with a hard line bifocal? Have them move that section of the lens down low so it would be usable, but not mess up my shoot'in eye!
Might just be a me issue? Anybody else deal with this?
I hate them!! but Im in a tree stand and with the bifocals which have the reading script on the lower glass everything down at the ground from the stand is blurry,, I have to remember to bring my second non bifocal pair......... here where I am in the north east if its freezing out and i have any sort of face covering like a balaclava they fog up if I breathe out my mouth and my nose is always cold..... my eyes dont work good any more, my ears are ringing all the time so I dont hear deer I only see them, my left knee is always sore, sometimes in the morning after leaning down and tying my shoes my back locks up,, i have a truck load of bows I once thought were easy to shoot but now their too heavy to pull, getting old is a challenge thats for sure....
I'm very near sighted (with astigmatism) and have progressive lenses. I just focus on the target. :dunno: But I hve a very upright stance and that may make a difference.
When I wore glasses and needed bifocals I had issues like almost falling down stairs. Shooting was a guessing game as the line always got in the way at midranges. Tried progressives as well. Not much better. I gave up and got 2 pairs of glasses, one for close, one for far. In those days I was into competitive archery as well. I had a habit of "forgetting those close readers. So I was not trusted to keep score.
