The Soviets did a lot of research on this for their Olympic shooters, and found that the best results generally came with a ratio of light-to-front sight-to-light of 1:2:1. American guns tend to be 1:4:1, or worse...narrow strips of light on each side of the front sight. Tolerable for young eyes, unacceptable for the shooter in his 40s or older.
I had cataracts in both eyes in my 50s. After surgery, my vision improved significantly, but of course with the artificial lens implants, you need reading glasses if you want to do close-up stuff (distance is OK). I still wear glasses to even my vision out (R eye is now 20/20 with the implant, L is 20/50). That's fine since before the surgery I was extremely nearsighted.My eyes aint what they used to be.
Reading is a choir without glasses, but "doable" if I hold the book away.
Distance is ok. Each eye on it's own is marginal for distance, but somehow together they make a good picture.
All my long guns are scoped.
That brings me to pistols,, just getting back into pistol shooting.
cant focus on the sights.
My understanding is lasik surgery would correct my vision for distance and I would need reading glasses?
What is the answer,, I am thinking a reflex/ red dot??
I know there those older than me struggling with this,, whats your answer ??
1:2:1 means looking through the rear notch the strip of light on either side of the front sight would be half as wide as the front sight.
1:4:1 would mean each strip of light is 1/4th the front sight width.
Throw in the front sight width for desired precision and target appearance relative to the sights.
