New Eyes and Sight Alignment

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.

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

Shop SSP Eyewear for the best bifocal shooting glasses and tactical glasses. Perfect for precision and safety with bifocal lenses and prescription options available.

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,

Have you tried optics on your pistols yet ?

I was hoping to stay away from optics, but it may have to happen.

I sometimes practice with iron sights without using my special shooting glasses. The upgraded SpeedSights (with tritium) I use are fuzzy, but usable at normal self defense distances. The bad guy is not going to wait for me to put on my SSP Top Focals. 🤓

Unlike these guys above, I have a pretty good astigmatism so have to wear glasses all the time, even after cataract surgery in both eyes (my astigmatism is from an oval shaped eye). I ordered a pair of WylieX sunglasses in trifocals prescription and transition lenses. I use them in the yard when out with the dogs and then wear them to range when shooting. They are clear indoors and super dark in the sun, so best of both worlds. Bonus is that WylieX are mostly safety glasses, so extra protection for eyes as a “cherry on top”. It’s pretty nice being able to just wear them as normal and not have to fumble around with safety glasses at the range.

They have lots of sales, so don’t pay retail 😂. I only order from the actual WylieX site to avoid fraudulent product. Lots of it out there.

Nice glasses. When ordered with a prescription, will they put the diopter on top?
