Loosing Image in Scope

[alinwa]

Also I've found that my eyesight has steadily improved after passing middle age, from very myopic to just a bit short sighted. The same process that makes a person with good vision farsighted as they get older can make a short sighted person's vision improve with age.

Hey! And I thought I'd imagined it, AND my family claims I'm crazy.... I wore glasses until I was about twenty. Then took them off and didn't wear them again until just this year at age 47. I now enjoy them for driving, especially for our rainy cloudy nights. I can still pass my drivers test without them. In my mid thirties I went to the eye doctor to buy some prescription shooting/driving/safety glasses because I could afford it and the doc told me "no, you don't need glasses." I talked him into selling me some anyway and only wore them for late night driving, shooting etc.

Anyway...... you're the first person in my life who's mentioned improvement with age. Of ANY sort!


Well, not quite I guess. My Dad's always talking about "wisdom" and age.......


And sometimes I talk about listening to him......

Hey, Jeff. Nice to know there's someone almost as old as I am hanging around here. I find the target looking through a Leupold FX-III fixed power scope and I had a similar problem with my images in recent months. I began to try to figure out what was wrong with the scope and, in a flash of genius, decided to talk it over with my eye doctor. Turns out it's eye fatigue (strain) caused partly from the fact that I need to relax my eye by looking through the scope and adjusting my position rather than allowing myself to get sloppy on scope alignment and then try to "force" the image to correct by straining my eyes.
Before you try to figure out if the scope is the culprit, my advice would be to talk it over with your opthamologist and see if he can duplicate the condition using his test equipment.

No way

I could shoot with my tri-focals.

Call Lehmen Optical in Dewey AZ 800-255-0205.

They will make you real shooting glasses. In other words the lens will be in the proper place to correctly look through the scope.

I have bi-focals in mine so I can make scope adjustments etc.
