New Eyes and Sight Alignment

BassCliff said:
Hi,

I just thought I'd mention another solution that has worked for me, a cheaper solution than a whole new pair of glasses. I bought some stick-on diopters and used them on one of my old pair of shooting glasses. For example:


View attachment 86944

It's not a perfect solution for everyone, but it's cheap enough to give it a try without breaking the bank. The resin lenses are stick-on and can be trimmed with a good pair of scissors if necessary. Just a thought.

I would suggest using the lens only on your dominant eye in order to see a clear sight picture, use your non-dominant eye/peripheral vision for the target.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi,



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

Decot will put the bifocal at the top.

"The most common direction Decot takes is to make a lens with your normal distance Rx in the major portion of the lens and the power needed to bring your sight into focus is put in the bifocal portion of the lens. The bifocal is inverted so you are looking under the bifocal for your distance vision. At this point you can drop your chin a little and you have a wide bifocal area to see your sight with. This allows you to see the sight as well as have your normal distance vision as you walk around and do things between your shooting stations. The non aiming lens can be single vision distance or have the normal bifocal lens put in it to facilitate loading or scoring."
