My aging eyes have of late been letting me down with iron sights. Really only been the last year or so that it has been an issue even though it's been almost 10 years since I had Lasik to correct for nearsightedness. My distance vision is still good but the near vision has been slowly creeping farther and farther away. One of the best benefits of the Lasik was being able to see sights and targets in focus at the same time with only protective shooting glasses.
Saw these (or similar) mentioned in a thread on another gun forum and decided to give them a try.

I was able to get a solid sight picture with my officer sized Rock Island 1911 and still be able to see the target markings on an IDPA target at 10-15 yards.
I think I will order another set in either .5X or .75X, at <$16 it's worth it to me try.
I've tried shooting with my standard 2X drug store readers but while I can see the sight just fine the target is lost. I have several pairs of safety glasses with "reader" inserts but they just don't work for shooting.
These seem to be something that will work for me.
