Gun-friendly eye doctor

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know an eye-doctor who caters to shooters, preferably near Maplewood? I'm in my 40s, and the only time my vision bothers me is when I'm aiming. I can't get either the front OR rear sights in focus unless I use a shooting iris. So I'm looking for an eye doctor who can prescribe me glasses with the sole purpose of correcting fuzzy sights.

 

Thanks!

You might have a hard time finding a doctor to prescribe glasses to YOUR specifications. They will prescribe you the correct lenses to make your eyesight 20/20. What you're suggesting can lead to a malpractice lawsuit, which I don't think any doctor would risk.

 

Here's how I see the scenario playing out:

You: My eyes are worse ever since you gave me that prescription.

Dr: that's what you wanted so that's what I gave you.

You: you didn't warn me this would happen. You're the doctor. You should've known better. I'm suing.

 

This is all hypothetical. You might get lucky and find someone.

Good prescription rifle (and shotgun) shooting glasses are ground with a different sight axis than everyday glasses, and aren't ideal for everyday use. Ask your optometrist if you can bring your rifle to the office (some will, some won't allow it) so that he can determine your sight axis with the gun mounted before they grind glasses that may not help you at all due to a misplaced axis.

    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
