Old guy, new member!

[Dirty-30_lever]

Hello!
I look forward to the exchanges, and hope I can add a measly bit of interest myself. I like things that go bang…
My quest as of now is to engage with folks who where prescription eyeglasses and also use scopes…
I realized that I was wearing my readers while sighting in the other day since I was naturally so close to the scope and thought hmmm, maybe I should wear my transitional lenses and man……they didn't help… couldn't find the happy place since the lower lens for reading caused me to move my head up. What have you done to over come poor eyesight and using scopes?
Anyways, late night ramblings from a old guy who's new here. Cheers!

Currently, I were contact lenses. I mostly use simple shooting glasses. Though, I have also been debating getting a Rx lens/glasses for shooting only to wear with the contact lenses. I don't shoot too much with a scope.

Anyway.....when I wore glasses it was bi-focals. I simply looked through the top part of the glasses to see through a scope. Use whatever part of the glasses suits you, for when shooting irons. Some shooters that I knew (in Hawaii) even had special Rx shooting only glasses.

Aloha, Mark

Welcome to the forum.

As for shooting and older eyes....
Peep sights like those from Lyman , Redfield and Williams have been a big help for me.

Your scope has an adjustment for focus. Have you tried that?

Thank you for the hello's! @Gunner3456 , I do move the dials around , but I'm no sniper! I can over think things sometimes too. I went down the rabbit hole of… if I need to see far away- I need my transitions, if I'm reading or doing intricate work like an Atlantic Salmon fly - I'll need my readers. So I mossy on up to the rifle rest and I had my transitions on and couldn't find "clear" precise, I replace them with the readers and I'm seeing clear again. I'm sure it's an easy fix, I'm just difficult .
Cheers y'all

Welcome to the forum..
I also am older have have issues with eyesight and aiming. I can't help with any suggestions with your scope, but I have found that I see a fiber-optic front sight (I see green best) better than other types of "iron sights".
