Re: Getting older sucks

Andy,

I have done the same thing in my quest for the solution to getting old. I am a few months shy of 62 and have worn trifocals for 11 years. When I started shooting pistols again after the 2008 election, I had to find a solution. For street wear, I had quadrifocals made. They are trifocals with the intermediate range (front site length) also in the top of the lenses so that I can put my head down slightly and see my front site. Problem is that now the only lab that made then has stopped. I have worn computer glasses for IDPA matches as it gives a larger field of vision (at front sight length) but I can't see if I am hitting anything and that won't work on the street (I am blind as a bat). So, I had some glasses made as you described several years ago. I will wear them on the street some but prefer my quadrifocals as long as the prescription still works for me. The glasses you describe work well for matches as I can shoot with both eyes open and see the holes in the targets (shooting 200 grain SWC 45 ACP). I don't know if I could see 9 mm holes, have not shot that recently but will try next time I am out to see if I can. Good luck with your glasses experience.
