Progressive bifocals and shooting - yuck!

[Aeronut]

I have progressive lenses, about 6 years now, and didn't have hardly any trouble adjusting to them.  Don't really notice the blur anymore at all.

What really screws up your shooting is a detached retina followed up by vitrectomy surgery and then cataract surgery all on the same eye in a matter of 12 months.  I'm thankful I can still see out of both eyes!!

Just a quick ? for you guys that are wearing bifocals.Sorry for the hijack, but I can't help but wonder (especially after reading one of Rusty's posts last year) if needing bifocals and not having them could cause shooting problems. I was told at my last eye exam a couple of years ago that I was pre presbyopic, and want to know if that could  cause problems with my shooting(namely consistency problems). I do notice at times(not always, but often enough) that I have to hold things farther away to focus on them.

The reason you are having the problem is the way the lenses are ground. The segments are in the shape of a figure 8 in the vertical center of the lens, and anything to the outside of that will be distorted. You can get used to it, but it takes time.

Good luck!

I have lined bi-focals and have never had a problem adjusting to them or to shooting the bow.Of course the way I shoot I should blame the glasses anyway.
