I use everyday trifocal lens Rx glasses which work well for distance (top); pistol sight, computer... (middle); or close work and reading (lower). At the range, I use amber tinted safety glasses designed for wear over prescription glasses. No special measure for one eye over the other. Maybe, I'll start to use both eyes for sighting.

Trifocal Rx glasses are my best everyday wear option! The safety glasses are less than $20.

The folks who make industrial safety glasses are your friends here, with a slight change from what the gent right above uses. There's an occupational grind (sometimes called mechanics grind) where the middle of the lens is distance vision, there are insets top and bottom for your bifocal correction. When you get to trifocals (me too) the top correction is your intermediate (front sight) correction. This way you can move between corrections with a minor change in head position without looking like you're about to fall over backwards.

I've been doing this for decades now, using 3M safety division vendors. Prices are very reasonable, frames can be stylish. And, they're safety glasses.
