I've read some of the information about monovision prescriptions and am wondering if I should peruse that route, but I have some questions regarding alternatives and also regarding daily wear. Searched before posting, hopefully didn't miss a thread specific enough I should have replied to it instead of starting a new one . . .
My experience level: been shooting about 6 months. Weekly range trips, dry firing at least twice a week. 99% of shooting has been on indoor ranges.
My eyes: not great. Dominant eye -2.25 correction, weak eye at -1.50. Dominant eye good acuity with correction. Weak eye not so good, due to some retinal damage. I use progressive lens with a 2.00 reading addition to help make up for my age of 51.
I have a good set of Rudy progressive lens glasses. Doing pretty good in terms of keeping both eyes open, not seeing double images when I switch focus from target to front sight, etc. Not feeling like I have any particular problem to solve, just wondering if I don't know what I'm missing, and a monovision prescription would be better. I stare at a computer screen for probably 6 hours a day as part of my job as a software development manager.
I'm assuming people who get monovision prescriptions wear them all the time? Is that correct? Are there any noticeable tradeoffs in terms of daily use compared to a progressive prescription? Any other options I should be considering? Rudy lenses are expensive enough I don't want to just being buying multiple pairs to experiment. I'm asking now because my first pair of lenses were transition lenses, and I want to get a clear set for night shooting. Thanks in advance for anyone's thoughts.
