    You guys realize the Bulzeyepro is a magnifier right? Getting a scope with more magnification will do the same thing only better. Just sayin'

    Steve123. It sounds like you have more issues than just optical correction. Perhaps early cataracts? When they are surprised at how good you see, that usually means "I'm surprised how good you see considering you have this other condition going on." Any mention of cataracts or other conditions...

    Old Eyes

    Almost all Rx's are done in some kind of plastic due to better protection and reduced weight. Glass at one time had better optics but good quality plastic, polycarbonate, or hi index plastic are quite good from the quality labs. Good quality anti reflection coating is nice but cheap anti...

    Jeffppc, it will be interesting to see what your doc says. I am an optometrist in my other life. I routinely deal with all things optical including management of cataracts and other surgeries. Don't hesitate to ask any questions that might arise. Always happy to help.

    Mike, i f you have glasses that give you full correction including astigmatism, most red dots should work once you get a little practice in. If you are trying to use a red dot without your glasses on that would be a problem.

    Stay with the right side AND never never give up. BTW 15% of the population is cross dominant. I am a righty but left eye dominant. If I get tired of using my right eye while shooting I switch to the left eye. It works surprisingly well. Best wishes with your glaucoma.

    Actually, anything that has a medical diagnosis and code is billable to Medicare. Includes everything from cataracts to dry eye to a bump on your lid to droopy lids. My first use of Medicare was for my torn retina which was fixed right away by laser.

    Old Eyes

    Many of us have noticed more difficulty in shooting skills as we age. If you are over 40 or so you no longer have the ability to adjust your eyes to varying distances like before. You may notice you are slower at acquiring clear focus. Needing more light is also pretty much expected. Thankfully...

    Is FFP or SFP More Frequent? — At what Magnification Range?

    I have numerous scopes...some are FFP and some are SFP. The FFP scopes indeed keeps the relative drop coordinated with the reticle. I find that when I use the FFP scopes that the lower magnification is not very practical because it shrinks the reticle more than I like. As such, I keep the...

    FFP Scopes and all the hype

    Haven't seen anyone mention how small the the exit pupil can become on high magnification. A general rule of thumb is magnification is objective lens size divided by exit pupil size. So if you have 24x magnification with a 50 mm objective the exit pupil your eye must align with is only about 2...

    FFP Scopes and all the hype

    I am amazed at how many shooters of airguns are going for first focal plane scopes. The reticle gets very small on low magnification and I am guessing most will use the higher magnification rather than look at a small reticle. This may make sense if you are shooting a powder burning rifle at...
