I’ll be watching this one, seem to struggle with my progressive lenses and scopes.

a friend, and my trusted eye doctor, who is also a hunter, told me, when I asked this very question upon his writing my first prescription, was either way works if the scope is adjusted to that view. My solution was to focus for the regular eyewear. Iron sights may have differing solutions.

I need +3 reading glasses for most everything and add a second pair over the top for reading (like right now) or a headband magnifier  in the shop.  I can shoot fine with the readers but buy a full frame +3 safety reader.   I can only find them online.  It is a head scratcher that local hardware stores only sell bifocal safety glasses and not the full frame ones.  I am sure a large percentage of their customer base would use them.  The only issue is that some that have good eye coverage also fog up.  I drilled some vent holes in one pair to address that issue.

I'm one of the "lucky" young guys (38) that has been wearing glasses since 3rd grade. I have always shot with my prescription glasses on. Although at the last shoot while setting up the rifle with a new stock, I did not have the scope far enough forward and did manage to put a good scrape in the top corner of the lens

Thanks Jeff, me too!

I use a slight prescription, -.5, to clear things up with the 22 BPCR rifle with the scope on.  My wife and I shoot the same rifle at matches and this keeps us from having to adjust the focus.  It also adds a layer of protection to my eyeball.  She generally wears clear safety glasses.
