    I am still struggling to find an optimum fixed sight solution.

    Best performance with fixed sights will be to have the front sight as sharp as possible. Period.

    WRT a red dot, I'd suggest a Trijicon RMR. They are rugged, and click-adjustable for elevation and windage. Get the smaller dot sizes, it'll be more precise.

    I am going to follow through with both options: the distance prescription with the bifocal bubble at the top of the lense to use with my fixed sight pistols, and have the slide milled on my spare SP-01 slide to try out the red dot solution and my regular distance prescription.

    By spring I should have it figured out well enough to compete IDPA pistol. I will stick with PCC events for now.

    Dr. Norman Wong Articles as posted to the Bullseye List (plus*)
    https://www.starreloaders.com/edhall/nwongarts.html

    Norman Wong, O.D., has been kind enough to provide several articles and posts regarding vision, to the Bullseye Shooting Community, through the avenue known as the Bullseye-L Internet Forum. Because the older archives are no longer available and to provide a consolidated source, some of his topics have been placed here.
