Cheaters....as in glasses.

[mtnwrunner]

Now, some of you are mere youngsters but I know that there are some over 45 sliders out there and that is when the vision usually starts going according to my eye doc.
I can spot an elk at like 20 miles......I just can't read the scope turrets.
I usually have a stock pack on my rifle and carry a pair of readers in there but I've had some durability issues with glasses. Which brings me to my question-----any of you have or know of a bombproof set of cheaters, say in the 1.75 range?? Something that can take banging around in a pouch. And no laughing....your time be a coming.

2 pairs of cheap ones, you have a backup from loss and damage.

When you have your cataracts removed have your new implant lens etched with your choice of MOA or MilDot grid.

I'll be following this thread!
LOL once I hit 50 I have needed glasses to read, I hate glasses and I do not get along with them, I break them all eventually. I have soft and hard cases but they only partially help, what sucks is when you don't have a pocket to put them in, you end up hanging them on your shirt or on you head.

On the side of my FHF bino pouch there is a little stretchy pouch that I made a little hole in, I stick the earpiece through and hang them, that seems to keep a pair somewhat handy.

i'm with tod, multiple pairs all over the place,so yeah,i remember the day when i first had to use a pair working on engines.
the long final approach.hopefully

Same here. I always bring my "back up" pair when in the field. Pick up a couple of cheapies from the dollar store or similar.

I got tired of tying flies on for my dad so we bought him a few pairs of the magnet ones that hang on your neck. One pair for the truck, one for the fly fishing pack, and another that floats around. He hasn't lost any yet!

wouldn't really be applicable in the field, but the magnetic "clique's" you can buy on line are fantastic! My daughters tell me they make me look like an old man but that's the beauty of exceeding 40, you don't really care!! haha

Costco has three packs and the last ones I got seem bulletproof. I'm hard on them and so far they've held up better than any others I've had. Even after being stuffed in the front pants pocket of my coveralls and fishing in the boat all day they're still in one piece.

This. CliC is the name of the readers that have a magnetic attachment point at the bridge of the nose. Hang around neck until you need them, then connect, sit on nose, point and shoot.
I also carry cheapy back ups that have folding arms and pack up super small.
CliC’s are $29 on amazon.

At work I have seen XP model safety glasses in bifocals.
Let me do some Googling.
Would contacts work?

Don't look for your sight to get any better. It's gonna get worse. The cheaters started for me at 47, Then the street signs got hard to read. Now if I lay my glasses down, I can't hardly find them cause I can't see em!!!

Forget the stock pouch and use a hard glass case stowed elsewhere. No way the frames hold up to banging around in a soft case.

 

[PNWGATOR]

Costco 3 pack is the ‘easy button’. If you need some and don’t have a store in your backyard let me know and I’ll pick up a pack and send them to you.

 

[tim tarras]

Try these. I have them attached to my phone case.

i take it you need readers, but not yet distance correction so you don't wear glasses except for up close?

i need both long and now short correction, yes the long vision is improving but the reading is getting worse.

a crazy idea... my hunting glasses with a perscription is a brand called F8. looks like something basket ball players would wear, its a sport safety glass. seals tight to face for on the boat fishing too, and absolutely have taken whacks in the face with brush and no harm to them. you can get a single line bi focal put in those with a reader correction on the bottom and zero correction on top. you can also tailor how high or low the reader part is in the bottom of the glass so its a comfortable look down with your eyes.

just a thought

I get the 3 pack at costco, but you need to pick the plastic ones instead of the steel frames. I have a neck strap. I never lose them or break em anymore.
