Thanks for the replies.
I was diagnosed with this during an eye exam a couple of years ago. I’ve always been nearsighted and wore glass/contacts for years. Then it seemed like nothing really worked to get things into focus and the recognition that it was a little more involved problem. Additionally………….I’ve got old eyes too.
First thing they tried was a gas permeable contact or what I called a piece of gravel because that’s what it felt like in my eye. Shooting wasn’t even an option with those. I got pretty good correction out of eye glasses but those of you who are a bit more “mature” know the challenges of shooting with bifocals.
Now I’m using a new pair of glasses and soft contact lenses designed for astigmatism, it works ok but shooting with a scope is an issue for me. I have a 3x9 Bushnell 4200 on one upper and a Weaver Classic 2x10 on the other. Both are nice and bright but with the Weaver especially I get a lot of doubling on the reticle.
I guess I’m going to need to go and look at some different scopes to see if there’s a difference in the brands. I was even wondering if illumination would make it better or worse. This isn’t a real uncommon disease so I’m sure there’s someone else out there with it who shoots and hunts.
