I'm 47, and never had great eyesight to begin with. I keep wondering how my ancestors WEREN'T the ones who ran off the cliff hunting mastadons...

Since I realized you could buy prescription lenses dirt cheap on the internet (I'm averaging about $9 per pair of single vision glasses) I've tried a bunch of stuff.

Couldn't adjust to progressives, can wear bifocals for short times, but really prefer specific glasses for specific tasks. There's a set of distance glasses in the car, an intermediate distance (computer) set next to the computer, and near focus near where I read.

Experimenting, I've found that computer glasses tend to be a good compromise for IDPA. Their focal range is 21"-26", and my front sight falls within this range. I can still see well enough to read *a little* and can still see distance well enough to not run into barricades.
