Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Adjustable focus eye glasses?

Didn't know where else to post this, so figured it would get good traffic in the "Optics" forum.

As I get older, I noticed I'm have many more bad days than good days on the handgun range. I'm not a fan of red dots or scopes and would much prefer running irons. But some days, like yesterday's fun steel shoot - I had a heck of a time getting a crisp view of the front sight. (although the glare on my old Model 15s black ramp didn't help. It's due for some sight black!)

So, I googled up "Adjustable Focus eye glasses" and I find tons of them online ranging from $12.99 to over a hundred.

Can anyone relate experiences with Adjustable Focus glasses for shooting?

Thanks

Cut your normal progressive add power in half and you should get a good view of your sights @ arm's length, then, a slight tuck of your chin will get you into your distance to see the target.

Same goes for archers using peeps/pins.

I have been wearing prescription progressive safety glasses for over twenty years. While they are not conducive to precision work through a rifle scope, I like them very well for shooting handguns. I have antiglare, and polarized lenses. On bright days I use brown tinted, and use clear on overcast days.

The progressives have a sweet spot to see the front sight in sharp focus, while the rear is slightly blurred as is the target.
