New to glasses

[crazygrizz]

Getting some prism glasses for some double vision. Having never worn anything besides sunglasses I wanted some quick insight. Vision is 20/20 in both eyes, just with both open they fight each other. To compensate I usually just close my left eye when shooting or squint it.

But since I won't have to compensate anymore. Do you guys shoot with them on with rifles, bows, pistols, or shotguns?

Been wearing glasses for near 50 years now. Tried contacts for awhile but hated them. I shoot all my weapons with them on. I kinda have to.

Yeah since my issue wasn't clarity just focus it's a weird spot. Like is it worth it to shoot with them on both eyes open? I've got by for the most part just squinting my left eye, but if it's worth learning otherwise I will.

If you shoot just fine by closing one eye without glasses then just do that unless you have to wear them all the time. Sounds like you do. Or, put them up on your head or hat brim and shoot and when done put them
Back on. I shoot all the time without glasses and I can’t see distance (nearsighted I think?) astigmatism as well. I’ve gone 30+ years without glasses. My wife made an appointment for me to go visit the doc in March. I’m going to try and get contacts and glasses. Glasses will just get in the way when I’m on the kill floor or going in and out
Of the freezer.

The only difference I’ve noticed is that your anchor points will be different when shooting a bow because there’s a blind spot as look through the sight. At least that’s how it is for me.

I wore glasses for 2 years and got so fed up with them fogging during hunting season I got the lasik done. I don’t know if that would help in your case.

I keep them on for everything. Rifle pistol shotgun. After a short adjustment period it feels way more natural than compensating or closing an eye. Biggest thing was relearning my cheek weld and sight picture.

Thanks for the input guys. When they come in next week I'm just going to wear them while shooting exclusively for a while and hopefully it improves my accuracy. I'm more excited about being able to spot game at distance easier and not squinting all the damn time. Seriously in daylight I got the drunk guy stare on sunny days.

I have had to adjust to wearing glasses in the last few years and until this year, I was in the "wearing them sometimes" mode. well, I missed a buck last year in muzzy season because I was stubborn and did not have them on. I could not make out that he had points above his giant ears until he was running. So, I started wearing my (distance) glasses. I quickly realized that they would darken at dusk and I could not see as well. So I got a new set of glasses with no coating and now I hunt with them on all the time. Its a process, you will have to find what works for you.

I can shoot rifle with my progressives or my prescription shooting glasses.

I cannot shoot clays worth a damn with the progressives and wear the prescription shooting glasses. I go from 97% with the distance glasses down to 75-80% with the progressives.

I wear the prescription shooting glasses for pistols too.

Both eyes open, all the time.
