Quote from: M60gunner on January 12, 2026, 09:29:53 PMWhen I wore glasses and needed bifocals I had issues like almost falling down stairs. Shooting was a guessing game as the line always got in the way at midranges. Tried progressives as well. Not much better. I gave up and got 2 pairs of glasses, one for close, one for far. In those days I was into competitive archery as well. I had a habit of "forgetting those close readers. So I was not trusted to keep score.Yep I regularly carry around two, sometimes three(if its sunny) pairs. Distance, full Rx readers and Rx sunglasses..just ordered lined bifocals this morning with just a sliver of reader hung on the bottom edge of the lenses..will see in a week if they are the bees knees or not..high hopes!

I'm far sighted and the top section of the lenses don't have much correction, just a little to cleanup the vision. I don't think I tilt my head down inordinately to use this section of the lenses.I believe you are on to something here. I can usually get a dozen arrows off wearing my glasses, without blurring. Pretty sure I'm not keeping my head down enough when things go blurry. My lenses are relatively small so they get into the progressive section quickly and a very small head move at distance makes a big difference. As you say, it might be a good thing and a reminder to keep my head right!
I do notice that I will get a blurry picture if I don't turn my head enough toward the target, in effect looking sideways thorough of the lenses rather than straight througn them. I consider this a good thing. It reminds me to turn my head more toward the target.
