Cataract surgery put me back in the game. I still have to wear transition bifocals. Iron sights never looked better. I do cheat and paint my front sights fluorescent orange.

My grandfather had his glasses made trifocal. Close vision on top and bottom. Great improvement. That was in 1980'S.

I have to say that a red dot makes it easier, especially depending on the lighting in the room.

I have to wear +1.25 to see the front sight clearly. At self defense distance in the house a clear front sight isn’t really a big deal on a human sized target. I can still hit 4” plates at 15 yards without my shooting glasses. However a tritium front sight does help a lot for low light level shooting.

I do like red dot sights and I have been shooting competitively with them since the late 90s. The new slide ride red dots took some getting use to, as everything I shot before was frame mounted.

I do like crimson trace laser grips with irons as it is much easier to find a good left handed holster for a gun in “factory configuration.” I do like the green laser beam vs red as it is easier for my eyes to pick up.

I suppose it is all trial and error once you have to start wearing prescription lenses. I tend to practice at self defense distances and for the moment I can still hit a man sized target in the vitals without optical assistance at 10 yards. Which is good enough for now.
