Bifocals ---- happy, happy

[Whip]

I wear progressives, and have three different pairs of them now.  My original pair was a larger frame than the other two.  With the larger frame pair I can shoot fine, and I do use that pair for hunting at times.  But the two smaller framed pairs cause problems for me.  Makes some sense I guess that the larger frames allow for a larger area to the sides that I can see to shoot with.

I have a pair of distance only glasses that I wear for shooting/hunting.  Just never saw the need for bifocals (close vision) while hunting/shooting.  I wear bifocals with line rest of time - or contacts.

To keep glasses from fogging over use shaving creme.  Aplly thing coat front and back the wipe them clean

To keep my glasses from fogging up I stay in warm climates. It's the only way to be sure...   :D

Bill C. are you glasses lined bifocals or progressives ?

Haven't heard of the shaving cream trick, good info !

I had a Lasik surgery 2 years ago and I can't be more satisfied,I overview all the glass/ lenses wearer,nothing to loose nothing to care of. Call me Eagle eye!

[Pat B.]

Isn't there a recouperation period involved with Lasik, no weight, etc.. Couldn't draw your hunting bow ??

You have to wear eye protections(kind of googles) for 7 nights and avoid to wash your hair for 10 days but this is all the break in that was requested to me. What a freedom now, I decided to go that way just for hunting but it improves your regular life.

Unfortunately - the type of catarycts I have are risky - I've had two eye surgeons tell me to wait as long as I can before doing surgery as there is a greater chance that I could actually make my sight worse.  I sure wish I could go ahead and get the laysek surgery but as longs as I can correct with glasses I guess the risks are too great for me

I've gotten used to shooting with progressives.  It's actually a lot easier trad and sightless.

Paul, I live in a hot climate and I don't hunt until we get a couple of hard frosts.  I won't battle the heat/humidity and the chiggers!

I fought shooting with progressives for several years. They caused many of the problems previously posted here.  My best shooting under actual  "acrobatic" hunting conditions are with lined large framed bifocals.
