Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Scopes / binos and near sightedness

Ok, so for most of my life I've had to wear contacts or glasses. I'm near sighted, so they corrected my vision for all the far out there stuff. Scopes and binoculars were fine, better w/ contacts, but always good.
So. Recently I got lasik surgury and no more contacts or glasses. But now I'm 45+ and I find that I need to wear reading glasses. And I'm finding that it's harder to shoot even w/ a scope. Things are still blurry. Is this just me or is this normal?? How do you guys handle this??

When I had RK 10 years ago I noticed things were blurry thur my scope, but it did not hit me till someone else looked thru my scope and informed me that it was blurry. turns out I had addjusted the focus to account for my vison with bi-focals before the rk and had never refocused. tom

I just got a new eyeglass prescription with a slight change in my right eye (whatever is the smallest change you can make, is what it was). I had to refocus all my scopes.

I was near-sighted all my life, until last year, I had cataract surgery. That corrected the near-sightedness just fine. However, since then, it's basically scopes for me-can't see the rear sight. I can still use a peep modestly well, -in bright daylite-, but no good for hunting.

Yes, refocus your scopes.
