trifocals: mid-far-near; anybody tried?

Progressive for me......can't stand looking though that crack on the lens.:D

:eek:There's a front sight on a pistol??:confused:
:o I just look through the space on the one I can see and go from there? No wonder I miss so much??:(
 
For me, progressives do not work for reading, do not work for computer, do not work for shooting. There is not enough in-focus area and I was moving my head around lots to get to the right spot. For range shooting, might be ok, but for practical shooting (USPSA and 3gun), progressives are a failure because the shooting position has to be flexible. I suppose shooting at a range or from fixed positions would be ok, but only from a fixed position which allows head movement to find the sweet spot in the lens. Note, I am nearsighted (about -7.25 for distance) with presbyopia (hence bifocals).

I recently bought a corrective clipon to use with the computer so the distance portion of the lenses can be used for computer distance. I will do some experimentation to see what those do for getting the front sight in focus again.

I'm a Network Wangler, sitting at a PC in cubeville. Got progressives this year because I was having trouble with the road signs and increasing frustration with handgun sighting. It took a month to get used to them, but they are great. Spring for the no glare and transitions, too.
 
I just got some lined trifocals just for the range. My head position is too far back. I do better looking out the top with my normal head forward postion, even though the sight is a blur. $450 down the tubes.
 
Yep, progressive is the only way to go. The only problem I have had is quick looks out the side when someone touches off a monster gun in the next lane and I look to see what it is.
