My eyes at 60 are probably worse than most. With a partial detachment & then cataract surgery, good prescription shooting glasses are a must. I am right handed, but my right eye sees close, left eye sees far. So while I can function w/o glasses, shooting fast & accurate is problematic.
I went with a large safety eyeglass, ground for a blended bi-focal, setup just for shooting distance, hard focus on the front sight. The larger lens allows a wider blend of the bifocal, so I don't have to search for the front sight or target, my eyes make an instant adjustment. You can't hit what you can't see so get someone to do your glasses that understands your shooting needs. Monovision works too, just my eyes are backwards & not willing to screw around trying to relearn my monovision. A blended bi-focal works great if done properly.
