Any solution for OGD??

I tried the little peephole experiment they showed on the Merit website. I'll be danged. It works. I may have to get one of those eyeglass aperatures. I wonder why do they show 2 different objects on the guys glasses? :confused:
 
Supposed to be this way.

Generations of shooters tell us that focusing on the front sight and making the target beyond it blurry, while holding that front sight centered in the target, gives us better accuracy than making the front sight blurry and the target sharp.

It's mechanically impossible for your eye to focus on two objects at different distances.

Yeah - but when you have a hard time telling the front site from the rear sight as they both look like a ball of yarn --- that is NOT conducive to better marksmanship. I tried my reading glasses with the bow today. That brought the sights in clear as a bell. I missed the entire backstop at 25yds as I couldn't see the target. I shot where I thought it was but it wasn't. :( Still a pretty good shot with the bow and normal glasses (3" group at 25 yds), but I shoot mostly instinctive.


Look into progressive lenses. They are like bi/tri focals but with multiple focal areas that should allow you to see smoothly from up close to far away.

I tried them. They sucked major. I couldn't read the speedometer in the car, the stop sign on the road, couldn't tell if a station sold diesel or not as I couldn't make out if it had the word "diesel" -- not that it was fuzzy --> I couldn't tell "gasoline" from "diesel" from across the street. Couldn't read the paper, a computer screen -- nothing was clear at any distance. And to cap it off, they gave me a splitting headache in an hour. I went back over and over and over and it was always the same old same old --the last person didn't adjust them correctly. BS - they were un-useable and I lost the cost of a new gun on them. I'd rather close my eyes and use the force than go back to that -- ever:mad:. He he - sorry, maybe you can tell that's still a sore point :o...


The last I heard, they also didn't recommend getting lasik beyond a certain age (IIRC, the magic number was once you reach your early 40's, but don't quote me on that...), but that may have changed since I had my surgery 6 years ago.

Well, I'm well past the age. I won't do lasik due to risks of a botched job. I had a cubicle mate at work, his uncle (or maybe F-inlaw?) was a renouned lasik surgeon and he ONLY did lasik repairs on people that were botched. He had a waiting list over a year long and one of the best rates of recovery back to useable eyesight. But that was still only about 75-80% IIRC.

Guess I may have to save up and get the bifocals and try and find a DR that can help get me some that are decent for shooting as well as for life.


Anybody have luck with herbal supplements or vitamins?

Or maybe just buy a 12ga pistol with a 2" barrel and be happy missing with most and hitting with some?
