My eyes are going. The last time I was at the range, I tried several glasses. This is using a Glock 17 with factory sights.
1. Shooting glasses, no optical correction, but couldn't focus on front sight.
2. My reading glasses but the front sight was too far away and I couldn't get it in focus.
3. My glasses for "normal" use, e.g. driving, etc, but then my focus distance was too far away and again I couldn't focus on the front sight.
So, I'm thinking about getting a pair of shooting glasses set up so that things are in focus at front sight distance.
The problem is that, knowing something about optics, I'm pretty sure this will almost certainly throw both the rear sight and target more out of focus. So, my question is, has anyone made such a set of shooting glasses and do they work, or does it just trade one problem for another to no advantage?
