does the focus on optics correct for vision?

[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1445542, member: 74902"] Welcome to the world of the Magoos. I had good vision until about 45 years of age or so. Now have been a bifocal wearer for years. And have used them hunting shooting and glassing for years too. One of the main reasons for the downturn cups on binos and stuff it that it is a pain in the a** to keep taking your glasses on and off just to look thru an optic. (ya don't want to forget and leave them on the ground.) Also, when long range shooting, you need to look thru the scope and then be able to look at the small print on a turret to adjust it and back and forth. I'm used to wearing glasses now. It feels weird not to have them on. Such is life I guess. I think you will get used to keeping them on when looking thru a scope and binos. It will become second nature. Also, correcting you vision with the parallax adjustment, might be an issue itself, since the parallax adjustment is meant to put the target image and the reticle on the same focal plane. that is not quite the same as focusing the image so you can see it better. I see no issues with using the ocular ring to focus the reticle though. For me it just gets to be a pain to keep taking my glasses on and off. You might want of get a set of prescription glasses for shooting. You need eye protection anyways and I think just prescription sunglass for outdoors could get to be a problem. [/QUOTE]
