As mentioned in another thread, I have had a bit of a bad run of form lately. At my last shoot, I noticed that my right eye (the one I use to look down the rib..) is unable to focus clearly at any distance (without prescription glasses on). This is just an inevitable advance of my long-sightedness. Because my left eye is better, this has covered the weakness up somewhat. I see an overall clear image, but the muzzle is a fuzzy blob. Yes, i know that if you stare at the target, the muzzle will never be in focus, but it shouldnt become the fuzzy blob.
I shoot without prescription lenses, and now wonder if this is starting to `not help`. For a couple of years now, I have often joked that I can see the clays; I just cant see the cartridges. Maybe the clays are becoming an issue.. :huh:
I have contacted Simon Goldsmith at `JH Steward (Bisley)`; mainly because I thought he was at Bisley! (Not too far). Actually he is in Bristol, but visits Bisley sometimes.. A good initial conversation.
Anyway, I have a plan for my eyes, possibly involving his prescription Zeiss glasses and a mild prescription, far less than for reading. Specsavers tomorrow will verify my eye status, particularly the focal difference between my two eyes (haven't been for 2 years).
So, has anybody here used him or the Zeiss glasses? Has anybody used prescription lenses for long-sightedness?
