Perscription glasses

[smwwoody]

Ok who wears glasses? I have just recently started wearing glasses.

how do you guys deal with them while hunting in the rain and snow. I ended up taking them off in the snow today then I could not see the sights. It is not a real big deal to go with out them when I have a scope. it also makes it hard to see game with out them.

this sucks

 

[Steelhead]

Just had the eyes checked last week, still bettter than perfect near and far. I am SO happy I don't have to wear them.

How old are you?

 

[Barbie]

I get around it in all weather by wearing contacts. I think i would go crazy if i had to wear my glasses while hunting unless they were sunglasses.

 

[Steelhead]

P.S. Are contacts an option?

 

[smwwoody]

I'll be 40 in feb. I am going to ask the eye doctor about contacts next time I can get to town when they are in.

 

[Thread Killer]

i just don't wear them... i normally don't hunt with open sights but my vision is pretty good anyway... Though the eye doc says i'm suppose to wear them all the time...

 

[Steelhead]

That explains a lot.........

 

[Chris]

I don't have them but the wife is legally blind w/o hers. She wears the type of contacts that you can leave in for a month or two though.

 

[smwwoody]

I cant wear contacts at work I do a lot of welding. I wonder if it would be ok to only wear the contacts when hunting and around the house. Or I could just quit working and hunt all the time.

 

[Steelhead]

Option number two sounds like a plan to me.

I think either one of those options would work :grin:.

I had laser surgury over 10 years ago, and it changed my life. Glasses were a huge pain hunting in the dry Intermountain West -- I can't imagine what I would do here. But I guess I'm going to find out, because since the cataract surgury/lense replacement in my left eye -- I need a Rx for that eye.

Getting old ain't for sissies.

 

[Calvin]

I'll have the laser eye surgery done by next hunting season, if not sooner. Boss just had it done in Seattle for $800 per eye, and he was done in 15 minutes.

I hate hiking/hunting in glasses..

 

[muledeer]

Just make sure you're having it done by an experienced surgeon, not someone set up in a shopping mall. This is not a place to try to save a few bucks.

That being said, it was the best $4,000 I ever spent in my life.

 

[Calvin]

Can't remember the name of the hospital, but I'll check it out before I do it.

It would suck to have them screw up your eyes..

 

[toltecgriz]

One of the guys at the 'Fire had his eyes screwed up by the surgery and he is legally blind.

Don't bargain shop. Check references. Do research.

 

[Calvin]

The place is Bellevue..

 

[smwwoody]

I have also thought about that route.

 

[Mac84]

My Bro and Sis have both had lasik done years ago. No probs and still 20/20. I'm too chicken so I suffer contacts.

 

[toltecgriz]

The place is Bellevue..

Be careful. In NYC Belleview is the mental hospital. :grin"

 

[Joe]

I hated hunting in glasses. So I switched to contacts way better.

 

[Big Stick]

When my vision slipped,it made me a better Hunter.

I slowed down,lived by my bino's and saw more than anyone else.

That streak continues...though I'd like my old eyes back................

 

[Joe]

I had to get glasses when I was Nine so it did not teach me a damned thing except I hate glasses.

 

[Big Stick]

I made it until I was 30-something and I got lenses because I was spooked to drive with my children at night.............

 

[Prowler]

I've been wearing cheaters since the fifth grade. There are a couple of things that are a pain. Looking through bino's (you loose a little FOV), and they fog up at times. In the rain I just wear a waterproof ball cap and hunker the bill down on them. They do sell anti fog shit for bino lenses that probably would work for glasses. Never tried it though.

I did wear contacts before and in windy conditions my eyes water like a bitch.

 

[Joe]

I had the problem of my eyes not liking contacts had to sample a bunch of different brands be for I could wear them.

 

[Big Stick]

I don't shoot with a scope,glass with bino's,nor peer a spotter...while wearing lenses...................

 

[Prowler]

I'm not wearing coke bottles for glasses, but cannot do any that you mentioned without them.

 

[Prowler]

The latest ones that I got last year are ok but liked the previous ones better. I'm thinking Acuvue something.

 

[Big Stick]

All the devices focus,thus anything is possible..............

 

[Prowler]

Your right there. I learned to deal with it I guess.

 

[Joe]

I tried the Acuvue but now am using Ultra Flex II

 

[pullit]

I have to wear glasses to read ect, but am fine when looking at things far off.

 

[Painless]

I am gonna have my shit lasered asap, I have been wearing lenses for almost 20 years........Blake
