[QUOTE="JSHKS, post: 1387825, member: 103581"] Been going to the same optometrist for 30 years, they have always done good for me as far as my shooting sports and glasses. I tried contacts about 10 years ago, just could not get used to them. Then every time the wind would blow felt like I had gravel in my eyes. Forward a few years. Doctor and I spoke about LASIK. With my astigmatism he said I was a good candidate. Looked into it and told him I would save up and we would talk again the next year. Next year rolled around. Doing my eye check and I noticed he was doing stuff for bifocals. I asked him if lasik would fix it and he said no. So I could drop several grand and still need glasses? Yes was his answer. I am near sighted and color blind red,green and brown as well. I heard they can fix that now also? Some of these procedures are moving so fast it is hard to keep up with the progress year to year let alone month to month. I will be 55 shortly and have worn glasses since I was about 8-9. Some hate them. They have saved me on more than one occasion. I have come to hate these **** bifocals over the past three years. I am now one of those old farts with a drawer full of glasses. I did have a pair made that are plain, no bifocal for shooting and hunting. May get a pair made for reading. My worst thing is trying to read the dials on my lathe or hash marks on a micrometer.
