Several years ago after my radiation treatment for the cancer on the side of my face I noticed my vision had changed maybe due to radiation or surgery or ????. So I went to Stanton Optical (stupid commercials) and the young lady that checked my eyes said my perscription was way outdated so I got new glasses. Everything looks better I.E. close or far BUT I could no longer get my right eye to focus on the front sight of my muzzleloaders as all except for a few have "primitive" sights. Oh yeah, she also noted my cataracts and referred me to an eye surgeon which is great as Medicare will only pay IF you get referred not if you go on your own!

Anyways I pulled a barrel off my long gun and went to see her and asked if she could make me a pair of glasses where my eye focused the distance at the front sight blade? She said sure but how far is it.....so I said please wait a second and I went to the car and pulled the barrel out, went back in and fortunately I was the only customer so no panic would ensure and sat back down and held up the barrel to replicate the way it was in relation to my face. She did her magic with her machine and the resulting perscription was between close up and far away so I ordered a space set. When they came in a few days later I checked them on my test barrel and the front sight blade was clear where as with my regular bifocals it was fuzzy as hell.
The problem was they were great when shooting but as soon as I set the rifle down to reload I had to switch back otherwise I had trouble walking so that is what I do now.
