Default Bad news from eye doctor

Thanks for all the input guys. I got my New glasses(new prescription) yesterday. Tried all my scopes this morning and was able to adjust the focus ring to accommodate my glasses. It's not perfect but at 48 yrs. old nothing is. Again, thanks for the help.

Just curious; could you focus a pair of binoculars so that it was clear. Was it just the crosshairs that appeared fuzzy in a scope.When I have my contacts in everything within 3 ft is fuzzy to me but I could alway use my focus rings to accomodate my contacts. Good luck with your glasses. Remember the old commercials back in the 60s and 70s about how after 50 was the best years of your life. I dont know; young and dumb with crisp eyesight sounds good to me.

A scope makes up for old eyes.

If you think 48 is bad you won't like 75.

I'm sure I won't. I'm not thrilled with 68.

deer655,
Binoc's were fine, my view of the target through my scopes was fuzzy with my glasses on. new prescription and ALOT of adjustment of focus ring seems to have helped.
