After looking at warped and fuzzy sights for far too long, I broke down for a new lens for my Champion glasses (not to mention my scores were dropping).
I had my long time eye Dr. really do a number (I brought in a gun). I took the scrip to a local lens maker. They were amazed to see the scrip written to 1/8 of a diopter and be told if they didn't get it right they were going to eat it ($44).
Finally, at the range, the moment of truth! Of course, this came at the peak of the local allergy season here, and I was suffering from the previous nights partying...
With shaking hand and eyes like peeled grapes, I raised the gun.....and couldn't hit shit!
BUT, the sights were wondrous! Dead sharp front sight with a relaxed gaze and with no distortion of the rear notch due to astigmatism.
I'll just have to find something else to whine about.

Re: Blind in one eye, can't see out of the other
Finding a shop that will sell 1/8 of a diopter lens is something to crow about. Plus with the Champion lens holder there is less chance of the person cutting the lens for the frame to screw up the center location.
Good deal.

I just remembered; I had to make a goodly diagonal sight change, too.

1/8 diopter? For cry out loud, you have Champion frame.
Just move lens a few milimeter away or toward your eye, that is your 1/8 diopter.
Champion vertex distance do that 1/8 diopter to 1/2 diopter infinite adjustment very well, just play with vertex distance to and fro.

Re: Blind in one eye, can't see out of the other
My lens does not move in and out. I suppose I could move it out of vertical and then tilt my and see if that has any effect.
Or I can just buy what I want.
