That's the key for me, focus on the front sight.You want your corrective glasses to allow you to see the front sight

If you are shooting shot at flying targets, with a smooth bore gun, you want INSTEAD to have your corrective lens allow you to see the target- NOT the front sight( bead) on the shotgun.
Getting old is not for the weak. :hatsoff:
Some people are helped by having cataracts removed( some didn't know they have them. ) Lasic surgery corrects distortions on the Cornea- or outer layer of tissues to the eye. Any decision on that question has to be made after consulting an Opthamologist. Only (s)he can tell you if you have such a problem, and whether Lasic surgery can help.

Paul is right on. :bow: I would only add that I also added a thicker blade on the front sight. That improved sight picture dramatically. :grin:
