[QUOTE="Guest, post: 68641"] I wholeheartedly agree with this thread. I always had good eyesight until about 3 years ago[46 then] when I noticed I could not properly focus on an airplane many miles away with a brilliant clear sky in NZ. Since then I have used both reading glasses and distance glasses from a good optometrist. The best distance glasses I have used for the last 6 months have a bifocal lens low in each eyepiece for map reading etc combined with distance lens correction in the main shooting hi ride lens. My corrected vision is about 20/12.5. I cannot get down to the fine definition of 20/10 with any aids. However the distance lens are the first graduation available which is in excess of what I personally need according to the tester.I just see a lot better with them than without. I have a slight astigmatism which gives me a blurring or double vision effect on distant objects. Normally they would not prescribe glasses with my current unassisted vision which is 20/15. With the distance glasses my vision is restored to almost as good as it ever was. I used to be able to discern .357 wadcutter holes at 50 yds. One of the few guys I have known who used to shoot competitive handgun with me could see .357 roundnose holes at 50yds!! Those are closer to .30 cal really. He had amazing eyesight which would be 20/10 I guess? The highest rating is 20/10 I understand. APB [/QUOTE]
