The last year has been a tumultuous year for me as far as vision goes. I noticed a significant drop in the vision of my right (dominant) eye. I got to the point where seeing my sights was damn near impossible. I tried and liked the mono vision set up with my glasses and that seemed to work. For a while. Then around Christmas I noticed an ever greater change in my right eye. Just after the new year I started noticing a blurry spot in the top left area of vision when using just my right eye. It progressively got worse so I went to my eye dr again and got a new prescription. He didn't see anything significant inside my eye so I just went with the new rx. Then I woke up one day about a week after I went to the dr and couldn't really see out of my right eye. Was like someone put a piece of wax paper over my eyeball. Needless to say I was a little concerned. So I went back to the dr and after trips to several different eye specialists they figured out I had a cataract (unusual for a 41 year old). So for about 6 weeks I was down to using my left eye to shoot. It was doable and I actually was surprised how well I saw the sights.
Anyway, I just had cataract surgery (they also fixed my astigmatism while they were rooting around in there) and the dr thinks my distance vision will be 20/20 or better. But up close I still need readers. So I've been trying to figure out the best way to go about setting up glasses for shooting and started looking at the stick on bifocals. Anyone have any experience with them? Good brands? Anyone use them in gas masks (for SWAT) or dive masks?
They're a heck of a lot cheaper than rx sunglasses and I can place the lense exactly where I want it so it appealed to me but I have no experience with them.
