Progressives here; after that it's all in the way you tilt your head
Interesting. I'd never heard of those before.Look into stick-on bifocals. They are flexible, can be cut to whatever size needed and when wet stick on to your normal eye glasses. I stick one on the upper left side of my right lens so that when the rifle is shouldered my sight line for the rifle sights is through it. The front sight is sharp but my normal vision is not affected. They are about $20 at Amazon.
Most of the info here seems to be oriemted toward seeimg pistol sights. What do the rifle guys use? Do progressives work for long guns? I have only bifocals, but I'm due to go back to the eye doc.
I found I shoot best with both eyes closed.
Everybody is different. It is just hard for me to believe you can’t find a spot on the progressives continuum that allows you to see both the front sight and a target out to 15 yards reasonably clearly. Jus’ sayn’For me progressives don't help when shooting a pistol. I can either focus on the sights or the target but not both. I have tried shooting with one eye open, then the other eye open then both eyes open... I found I shoot best with both eyes closed. YMMV.
I've gone from progressives to trifocals and back to progressives.
For me, red dots are the answer. Not possible to use in all situations, but the answer.
Funny Gunny, you’re older than me. I was thinking I should come on down with a UJust face it Tom, your going blind and don’t need your guns anymore. Have your FFL ship all your guns to mine and I’ll put them to good use.

Yes, I am older but still see pretty good. Just need reading glasses. Now I don’t plan to live forever, but don’t plan on checking out any time soon.Funny Gunny, you’re older than me. I was thinking I should come on down with a U
Gee Gunny you wish. The peeps are fine other than close distance getting a bit fuzzy. Distance is amazing.
If I’m not mistaken, you’re much closer to kicking the bucket than I am. Maybe I should bring a truck and trailer down and help you with your cleaning project! Lol
