I recently had cataract surgery on my eyes and my trip to the gun range was disappointing. Because the surgery has me far-sighted, I can't get a good focus on the sight alignment. I need to practice a lot more with my new eyes or perhaps get prescription shooting glasses. Right now I'm frustrated with my vision when I'm at the gun range.

Have same problems being far-sighted. Have three pistols, two revolvers with iron sights wear 1.25 reading glasses for range shooting. The rest of my pistols have dot optics.

Hi,
After my cataract surgery my solution was a pair of "Top Focal" shooting glasses from SSP Eyewear.

I use the top focal lens only on my right eye to see front sight clearly. I recently had to order some 1.75 lenses as my eyes age. I use no correction when shooting my optic pistol.
Thank you for your indulgence,

I use the SSP top focal for shooting now. And like @BassCliff I only need them for the front sight, don’t need anything for the optic.

Have you tried optics on your pistols yet ?

Should have added like BassCliff don't wear glasses with dot optics. Same question as Bassbob on optics.
