[old eyes.what's the fastest set-up ?]

I too have this afflection. I have tried the following:

1. Pupose built ESS shooting glasses --1.50 left/-2.5 right with a tich of astigmatism- no longer seeing a sharp front sight/distance fine

2. Same Rx with contacts and Oakley- no loger seeing a sharp front sight/distance fine

3. Correcting left eye w contacts, uncorrected dominant right eye/ nearly sharp front sight, distance pretty good but I seem slower in finding and keeping the front sight sharp

4. -1.50 in both left and right with contacts, undecorrecting my right eye. Decent front sight clarity and decent distance

5. -1.50 contacts in both eyes with a +.5 reader full lense safety glasses. Nearly perfect front sight clarity and minimal distance blurring. I am still able to reliably hit an 8 inch plate at 25yrd in limited testing.

I am thinking about going up to .75 or 1.0 to fine tune but I offer this solution FWIW.

YMMV greatly.

PS- I wounder if I just got a -1.0 right contact, would that put me in the same place?
