I have really bad astigmatism which has gotten worse over the years (I'm 49 now).
When I was a technician in a FAA electric shop in the 80s I was getting headaches, went to the eye doctor, and behold - was told I had this. In one eye things were blurry in the vertical plane. In the other - horizontal. Nowadays everything is fuzzy.
A few years back I looked through a pile of reading glasses at a store thinking something might help when looking at finer print. I discovered that no matter the magnification - everything remained blurry. Eye doctor said reading glasses don't work with folks that have astigmatism.
So now I have glasses with progressive lens, a pair for really close up stuff, and a pair for riding my motorcycle.
Bottom line - you're gonna need to see an eye doctor and you may need a special pair for shooting.
I use my prescription motorcycle glasses because they're both for distance and they're ANSI Z87 compliant (safety glasses). However, I do have my issues with iron sights also.
