I just checked our Wally World down here and reading glasses were sold individually at $12.95 - $14.95 per each pair. Better quality than the dollar store glasses but then they ought to be for 5 times as much money.
Greetings, this will be my second post on this forum.
I primarily shoot pistol because the nearest range is indoor. I am 64 and should wear trifocals for best vision.
My shooting glasses are a pair of commercial frame safety glasses with prescription lenses.
The entire right lens (my shooting eye), is the middle prescription for my trifocals. The left eye is my distance lens at the top and the close up at the bottom.
This combination allows me to see my front sight clearly and check out the target and see to load magazines with my non-dominant eye as needed. For most two eyed work, it is suboptimal, but for shooting the handgun, it works well.
For bullseye or rifle work, the adjustable diopter peep hole device mentioned above will work. It also helps to shoot outside on a bright day, then ones own iris will be pinpoint and the depth of focus the best.
Regards, DocAitch

It has been 10 years seance I had got new glasses. Mine new ones came from V.A. about two weeks ago and I can really tell the difference.
I have two rifles scoped. The ones I don't I just dab a little white out on the site once in a while.
These new glasses should come in handy for bow season, I start practice tomorrow. Season starts the 12th of this month.smacks

Mine is a much larger disk with more apertures to select from. It clips to the top of your glasses. I couldn't find that exact device, but here's another similar one from Brownell's...
