Contacts are something I've just can't bring myself around to. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to talking with my eye doctor.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006015336607998634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-53034410392760000492012-07-23T17:02:06.146-04:002012-07-23T17:02:06.146-04:00One time when I was at the eye doctor's I talk...One time when I was at the eye doctor's I talked to him about my plight, very similar to yours. He actually fitted me with a contact for my dominant eye that makes the front sight in focus. Cool thing is, the target is in focus from the other eye. It's changed my life.<br /><br />I made a post about it here: http://fillyerhands.blogspot.com/2011/06/lessons-learned-and-re-learned.html<br /><br />The doctor gave me the lens free as a sample, and I asked for another the last time. Only wearing them a few hours a month, I've made them last 2 years so far. Very nice.Tom Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993896251052124377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-9154919813942265232012-07-22T08:23:04.960-04:002012-07-22T08:23:04.960-04:00Ah, now we know why you looked so devilishly young...Ah, now we know why you looked so devilishly young. :-)<br /><br />MsgtB, that's exactly what I'm going to have to do with my shooting glasses. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long for an appt. Sadly, I was just in there a couple months ago too.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006015336607998634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-87216060175154140402012-07-22T07:44:35.944-04:002012-07-22T07:44:35.944-04:00I have a similar problem with my new contact lense...I have a similar problem with my new contact lenses.<br /><br />When we went shooting at The Range a couple months back, I wore my contact lenses. (Simply out of vanity) Being a new prescription, they correct my far vision enough that, when I read, I have to wear "granny glasses". When I shoot, I run into the same problem you're describing.<br /><br />My glasses are an older prescription, and I can still lock in on the front sight and shoot much better.<br />So when I'm carrying/shooting, I'm wearing my glasses, except when I'm being vain and stupid.<br /><br />Maybe try asking the eye doctor for a prescription that does not quite correct your vision to 20/20 or better, only for occasional use.MSgt Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035771485514432736noreply@blogger.com
