There must be something I`m doing wrong...,

I just recently started up with rifles, and I have three scopes. Wildly different pricing and quality, but the same problem. I was wondering if anyone knew the solution.

If I adjust the focus of the scope so that the target is clear, the crosshairs are fuzzy or almost completely invisible. This happens with or without my glasses on, and I have 2020 corrected vision.

Any suggestions :(

Loosen the scope, move the scope until the crosshairs are crisp..Tighten the scope, now try the focus on the target..
This is called having a proper eye relief to the scope..
 
To properly focus the scope, point it at a clear sky, or white wall.

Loosen the ocular, and UNSCREW, until the crosshairs just start to blur. Then tighten the ocular, until the crosshairs JUST clear. Lock the sucker down.

If you have an AO, adjust to infinity first.
