RE: Anyone wear contact lenses??
My friend has some contacts that you put in when you go to bed and it restores your eyes so in the morning you take them out and you can see 20/20. The downside to them might be that they are hard contacts and could get irratating when you sleep, but might be worth a try.

Learn how to blink would be my suggestion. I started wearing contacts when I was about 15, 7 years ago. I remember the first day I got them they would fall out everytime I watched TV; needless to say they were also blurry. I wasn't blinking enough for some reason. Now, I don't even know they are in there.
Do you shoot with both eyes open? I would suggest trying to focus more on the target rather than the pin. I started shooting this way and improved my accuracy a great bit. Of course, the pin is going to be even blurrier this way but you should at least try it.
Acuvue advance with hydraclear are some really good contacts. Get a trial pair and try them.

I wore contacts some 20 years ago and guess my eyes are just drier now than when I was younger.

I would say as already said that it is very possible that you have dry eyes and that is causing the halo. I have wore contacts for 20 years and I will sometimes get a "halo" or just some blurriness almost every day at some point from dryness. Don't be affraid to buy and use some rewetting drops, as you can get a real small bottle to keep in your pocket.

I don't wear contacts but in bright sunlight,most all pins get some sort of halo.The best color I have found for hunting and doesn't have the halo nearly as bad is the green.

Ditto, green is the best. I wear contacts and have no trouble at all. In fact, I shoot better with contacts than glasses, but I don't have the bifocal variety. I do, however, need toric lenses due to my astigmatism, and I am just guessing here but perhaps your contacts don't correct astigmatism as well as your glasses and that's the cause......Just a guess.

I am near sighted, meaning I can see things close up just fine but when I wear contacts to enable me to see far away, it blurs my close up vision causing me to have to wear magnifing glasses to read. This makes it very difficult ot see my sight pins when shooting.
If your near sighted, there is an answer! I spoke with the ole eye dr. about this problem and he advised me to wear one contact instead of two. It takes awhile for your brain (especially mine) to make the adjustment, about a month, but now I see my sight pins with the eye with no contact and the target ( elk hopefully) with my eye that has the contact in.
This idea will work if your near sighted like me and also save you lots of money on contacts as I only wear one for far away sight and use my other eye for reading. (and seeing my pins)cx
