Even when you're young your eyes can't focus on three points at the same time; so, when shooting you must focus on your sights and let your target blurr. When I was shooting my reading lens worked just fine for pistol shooting. Remember, the target will be there when you shoot, after you shoot and the bullet holes won't leave either so let it blurr and you will hit it. Moving targets with a shot gun is no different.
