The visit to the eye "doc" was pretty much worthless. My "prescription" changed minutely in the past 7 yrs since my last new pair of glasses. I guess he was able to tell me that my old Rx safety glasses I found at work along with my current glasses I occasionally wear are close enough in his opinion that they did not really need to be replaced. He did note some farsightedness creeping into the picture and suggested I may be looking at reading glasses or bifocals in my not too distant future.

This doc knew nothing about shooting or the issues I tried to explain to him in regard to my shooting. When I suggested that my brain might be using my right eye for the sights like normal and the left eye for target picture yet still maintaining a perceived down range non double vision image, he pretty much did not comprehend what I was talking about nor did he care. He simply said "wear you're glasses and close whatever eye you need to... have a nice day and please pay the receptionist on you're way out".

I wore my old safety glasses on the drive home and just shot some rounds with my left eye closed then intermittently closed and nearly every time the right eye did it's job. I think this problem might go away if I train myself to occasionally close/blink my left eye while wearing the glasses to check that my sighting picture is still correct.

It still blows my mind that this was happening and makes me wonder when it happened as I did not have these type issues early summer when I was on a rifle shooting kick.
