Tightloop: Last time I had glasses changed, was told I had some astigmatism and therefore wasn't a good candidate for bifocal contacts. This was approx 6 yrs ago and technology may have improved since then. Will ask the Doc.

Right after I posted, I noticed that an extensive dialogue had already taken place on this issue in the Shooting Techniques Forum. Thanks to all, I've now got some ideas to take with me to the eye doc. Wayne: will do the search for Decot.

My glasses force me to stand erect and tilt my head back in order to focus properly on my front sight. I can tolerate this when bulls-eye shooting, but not action. Obviously I could obtain some dedicated glasses that would have the far/near focus transition placed much higher on the lenses, but I was thinking of something more radical - a vertical strip of near focus down the middle with far focus on either side. That way I could bring the front sight into clear view no matter how my head was tilted. Suggestions anyone?
