[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 89638, member: 8"] There are three issues with glasses that I have encountered. 1. Bifocals- progressive lens bifocals are almost impossible for me to shoot with because I get into the transition area and things get blurry. I have the glasses I wear to work every day and then I have a pair of single lens glasses for hunting. I cannot read the scope dials with those glasses on so I have to take them off whenever I want do anything that requires close up vision while hunting. What a pain in the ***. 2. Glasses are designed to be a certain distance from your eyes and when they slide down and get pushed back up all the time like I do it is hard to be consistent. 3. Glasses are designed to be looked through in the center of the lens. With a scoped rifle, I tend to place my head so I am looking through the left edge of the right lens. There is a lot of distortion in that area of the lens. There are two companies that build glasses with the correct curvature close to the inside edge. When I retire and get to shooting more I intend to buy a pair. [/QUOTE]
