Default Contact wearers/bifocal type

Hey guys and gals..it hit me last year..and more so this year...that I have to wear reading glasses when I have my contacts in. I can shoot my bow just gr8, but I am considering going with these new bifocal contacts they are advertising. Anybody have these and what's it like shooting your bow with a peep sight on with thes bifocal contacts? Thanks,
Don

I have the same situation as you. I tried to wear my prescription glasses but that didn't work.I had trouble focusing on the target so I tried the bifocal contacts.They worked OK but they were uncomfortable so I went to regular visioncontacts and just throw cheaters on when I need to read fine print.

Yes I did They worked good. The only problem I had was by the end of the day my eyes were bugging me so bad it wasn't worth the hassle. I tried to look up the brand last night but couldn't find it. I don't know if it was a brand problem or if they are all that way. My regular contacts work great for shooting out to 50 yds. and are a LOT more comfortable. I just have to throw on a pair of cheaters when reading memos, spreadsheets ect.
