RPB - I will try the book thing and see if he gets it. I don't suppose your doc lives down this way?

No. I was very direct and specific with him. On my follow up vist I told him to pretend that I was stone cold blind in my left eye and that my life depended on me having a razor sharp focus on a #8 font at exactly 28-inches. Still didn't get through to him I fear.

I am really frustrated. I have been to two different eye doctors who are supposed to know what they are doing, and I simply cannot get them to understand what it is I need. When I tell them to pretend that I am stone blind in my left eye and my life depends on being able to focus perfectly on a size 6 font at exactly 28", they lose their minds and way, way, way overthink the problem - even to the point of telling me, even though I am right eye dominant, to use my left eye for near focus and my right eye for distance - completely backwards from th epoint I am trying to get across. I asked for sample contacts running a certain range (about 6) for my right eye and I would experiment to find what works - you would have thought I asked to sleep with their daughters. I just don't get it. If I can find the one that gives me front sight focus I need, then, and only then can I work on one that will give me the distance vision I need.

Does anyone know of an eye doctor within 100 miles of Katy, Texas that knows how to see things from a shooters viewpoint. Or does anyone know of an on-line store that will sell me sampe contacts in teh range I want so that I can find what I need.

Signed - Need a new prescription and I am surrounded by educated idiots.
