What about corrective lenses?

See an optometrist.
My local Walmart has a vision center and Dr; I pay out of pocket.
It’s around 100 bucks for the visit and a complete work up on what you may need. Glasses and contacts are additional.
I have glasses and mono vision contacts.
I am Right eye dominant. Left eye I need +3.25 and Right eye+1.25.
You may even be a candidate for Lasix; I’m not sure but I think they like to see 3 years without any change in vision before doing this.
The ballistic rated safety glasses are kind of expensive (ex. Wiley X); you may just be better off getting fitted for contacts and wearing normal safety glasses. Again you really need to see an optometrist to find your best solutions. Best of luck. Keep us posted.

Been there.

I’m 20/15 R 20/25L

Had an optical infection in college that screwed my left eye.

No Lasix for me.

That sucks , I hate that happened.
I have considered lasik myself, younger family member in his 30s had it done a few years ago and said it was less than 30 seconds. Not convinced it’s for me either.
 
I'm having that issue now and am probably going to a dot soon too. Now I just extend from the sternum /shrug. Works for body shots for me at close range which is all I need right now.
 
Re : Post #18 .
I have learned to HATE Optometrists now . 🙂

I'm sure there must exist at least one that can communicate and give feedback using logic and objective facts , but l haven't run into one yet . ( Into my early geezerhood , my acuity is still pretty good when eyes are "fresh" , think +/- 20/25 . But in recent years , eye fatigue is increasingly rapid . But every attempt, " normal general use prescription is massively Worse than naked eyes , to where l just shrug and throw them away. Eventually, I'll find one amenable to " just write me what l tell you , and I'll pay you double the usual fee " . )
 
I need reading glasses and when shooting with iron sites it's all just a blur. I get it on target, just a bigger spread.. I do have a dot on mine (which is the way to go), but when I use my wife's gun, she only has sites. I've been working on my point and shoot both eyes open between 5 - 7 yards (no sites or dot), trying to keep the grouping as tight as I can on center mass. When I'm comfortable with the grouping I'll will move it out to 10 yards and so on.. Funny thing is, I'm better with strong hand only point and shoot.

I do have bifocals I use at the range, when I want to use sites over the green dot. At some point might look at lasix, but not sure if it is worth the hassle. Plus I heard that can sometimes cause other issues (dry and scratchy eyes).
