After many years of deteriorating vision I finally took the plunge and went in for full tests and,as I suspected, I have major far-sighted problems (can't see irons in focus at all). My insurance does not pay for this sort of thing or glasses, and the optometrist I went to started sounding like a car dealership when discussing glasses--they recommended some progressive lenses with anti-glare coat with a total bill that would come in at about $700.00. I said I'll think about it and went down the street to a Our Eyes located in a WalMart where I could have either progressive or bifocals--including anti-glare and transition lenses all for $245. I told them shooting was a specific need--and they said progressive lenses tend to distort on the periphery--kinda like parallax, I guess. I went ahead and ordered the bifocals. These are my very first glasses--did I do the right thing??
