I am far sighted and wear bifocals. In self defense training, I seem to have two choices; see the target or see the gun sights. With my normal glasses on, I can see the target clearly but have to point on instinct as the sights are a blur. I have fair groupings and good speed with this method. If I wear a medium range lens, I can see the sights and are much more accurate at short distances; but the whole world becomes a blur and beyond 20 yards, so does the target.
I would like my practice to be as close to every day conditions as possible. Any thoughts? |

Here's what your sight picture should look like. The front sight should be in sharp focus while the rear sight is blurry and the target is even blurrier. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/soowah/fs_sights.jpg Thanks to Soowah for the pic. Fantastic graphic!  Thanks. I can do that easily with my mid range lenses and now I know what the goal is. Here is the problem; I cannot go out on the street with those lenses. I wonder if anyone has the same problem and has found a workable solution. Inverted bifocals? Trifocals? Thanks again.

Have you thought about a small optic sight. Something along the line of the Docter Optical Sight. It's a holographic red dot sight. You could probably wear your normal glasses and use it.
