When I first began wearing bifocal eyeglasses about 15 years ago, the prescription was such that I was able to shot a rifle or handgun with iron sights while looking through the upper (distant) lens which gave me an excellent focus on the target, and only "blurred" the iron sights to a small degree.
With the prescriptions I now use, if I continue to look through the upper lens, the sights are now quite blurred with the target well focused.
I probably look silly but the only workaround I have found is to were the bifocals upsidedown and view through the lower bifocal reading lens which gives me a mediocre focus on both target and sights. I do most of shooting using a scope and can focus well at all distances without any glasses by adjusting the ocular, but would like to know how other "bifocal shooters are coping with this problem.
So, any other bifocal shooters out there, and what's the best "fix" for this problem. It looks like the best I'm going to be able to do is find a pair of non-presciption glasses that give me less than perfect focus at all distances, but it's a heck of a lot better than what I'm strugling with now.
