Interesting/annoying awareness

I've had to wear prescription glasses for about the past 3 or 4 years. At first a very light correction in one eye only. But my vision got worse and worse each year. Both eyes effected, astigmatism, poor night vision driving, inability to see anything distant, using a magnifying glass to read cooking directions on packages.

You know, sucky. And I'm not a candidate for any corrective surgery.

Like many people who are newish to glasses and engage in a hobby or activity that's very visually intense I sometimes wear my glasses and sometimes not. I'll shoot without them and do good and bad. Then I'll put them on and some of it seems better. Then I'll go a few days without them and shoot better than I was before.

And those experiences are what leads me to my frustration. I definitely do better driving at night with them and seeing things at a distance. But those aren't super critical for action pistol matches. The past two day's I've been shooting in non-corrective lenses, just Ray-Ban sunglasses. And doing great!

Which leads me to the experiment of shooting the next 3 or 4 local matches without my prescription glasses and see what I think and feel about it.
