Thanks for all the replies. I will have to sit down and really think about which option I want to pursue. I'm not too old - only 40, but already breaking down due to disease.

I do prefer to shoot with the same glasses that I wear daily, since there would be time to change glasses if an incident arises where I need to protect myself - after all, this is a CHL forum. :)

Thanks,
John

Thanks for the quick input guys. I should have said that my cataract surgery was about 6 years ago, so the Crystal Lens implants weren't fully tested and ready at the time.

I think I will have to get new glasses with the lined bi-focal instead of the progressive and at the same time have the line raised some.

I'm not sure how often the lens implants have to be redone, but I will also query my doctor about the possibility of changing my lens to Crystal Lens.

Thanks,
John

Hi Everyone,
I am in need of some direction/advice. I love shooting my Glock 22, but due to Glaucoma, Diabetes and other factors, I developed cataracts that had to be removed. Since the cataracts were removed, they replace the lens of your eyes with a fixed focus artificial lens. This means I am now wearing progressive lens bi-focals. The progressive lens bi-focal is great for everyday work, but leaves a lot to be desired when shooting.

I have to lean my head up quite a ways in order to see through the lower portion of the lens when shooting. I can get a good sight picture on the front sight, but loose contact with the target after about 12 yards. I have tried shooting without my glasses on and have had good sucess, but then again I can't see the target out past about 10-12 yards.

Any help, suggestion, advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John
