So what does every one do to overcome the inconvenience of age on our eyesight.
Been shooting for years but its getting almost impossible for me to focus on the peep the pin and the target!
Peep and pins are fine,but the blur down range!.
Lucky that I can shot 24/7 365 on anything and everything and tend to use rabbits for target practice.Only problem is i can't see them clearly past 25 m and as i shot all the way out to 50m its more good luck and form and unlucky rabbits than precise accurate shooting.
I do not wear glasses or contacts and yes i have had my eyes tested and my dominant right eye is failing way quicker than my left eye.
I want to clearly see the target as well as peep and pin, possible or just another part of the aging process that we learn to adapt to ?
My main access to any archery shop has to coincide with my annual visits to DSC and SCI which allows me access to acrhery equipment. I NEED something for my Aoudad hunt in TX in Jan.

I would think a verifier would work. For more information, check check out the link.

I know some guys have mounted red dot optics on their bow when their eyes started failing...

Cross bow and a scope

The peep I have mounted on my bow string uses a screw-in lens that can be changed to accommodate your eyes. I am far sighted so use a + lens, sounds like you are near sighted so would require a - lens? Don't remember the manufacturer but am pretty sure they are still made. I probably got mine from Lancaster.

Had it done bout 8 years ago and have no regrets.

Good morning highlander, just a few thoughts if I might. I wish I could examine your eyes for you but alas, am in Tennessee! Even tho you state you do not wear glasses has your eyecare provider suggested you do so? There are a lot of optical correction options out there. Even a progressive/multifocal contact lens is available..my favorite is the Alcon/Ciba. A trial run is almost always offered to see how they perform. Do you have a cataract or other eye health difficulty? Hope not but they can be nicely fixed. Is your uncorrected distance vision perfectly clear and you just need help reading at near and the intermediate distance such as computer/peep sight? Would be glad to give advice or suggestions further.

I have had contacts prescribed but gave up wearing them due to not being able to see clearly enuf beyond 100m, pain in the butt when driving. They were OK for shooting but not great for hunting. BY all accounts my eyes are very healthy ,they're just aging .
One interesting question I have, is why is my vision SO much better when i wear my Polaroids? these are stock standard off the shelf Polaroids and i wear them alot as I'm a trout fishing guide at this time of the year(NZ Summer)and will have them on for 8-10hrs a day.
The big question is even without being able to see my eye Kudu4u is it realistic to expect contact or eye glasses to be able to focus on 3 points, ie peep,pins target. The other thing that i now do that helps is shot with both eyes open. I 'm sitting at the PC now and certainly do not need reading glasses, anything inside 10-12 inches is a blurr and once i'm 6-8 ft from the screen I can't read the print.
My i need to really explain my situation to my eye care person.
Thanks everyone.

The polarizing effect of a lens cuts off most all of the glare on a horizontal angle of 180 degrees (surface of water, auto hood, snow, etc.)...then to a lesser extent on the other angles between 0 and 180 degrees. Additionally, this improves visual acuity somewhat in most eyes. My favorite is a brown or rose polaroid. Now, you can get these also in prescription single vision and progressive. Glasses work better on all points not just the main 3 than contacts but the newish progressive contacts are not bad at all..just glasses are always a tad sharper due to the fact they are a hard surface and not affected by the eyelid. Polarization makes it easier to see those fine trout under water! I would love to try this with you sometime. Yes, tell all to your eyecare provider and follow their lead...there are lots of things out there to help.

I'm sure your doctor's checked for cataracts, but mention it just in case. My Dad was bothered by reflected light and lost acuity fast, then had cataract surgery and it was almost magic.

Second, for target archery people use magnification lenses with a dot instead of pins to shoot (poster mentioned above). Might try one of those. Look at Lancaster Archery for a wide assortment.

I use an HHA sight with a single pin as I cannot see the multiple pins good enough.

Also If/when I get to where I cannot use my single pin sight I will get a quality red dot bow sight.

I use a large peep sight and a red lighted pin.
Shoot with both eyes open, focus on the target, the pin will take care of itself.
Close one eye and you can't see anything under hunting conditions. Kenny
