    I too have presbyopia, astigmatism and a touch of nearsightedness.

    I usually wear progressive lenses to correct for all three. However, when I shoot, I wear only the distance correction, nothing for the presbyopia. This is because progressive lenses "blur out" when viewed off axis as you do when you shoulder a long gun with a proper cheek weld.

    I notice that your age is listed as 50 in your profile--prime time for a raging case of presbyopia. If you are wearing progressives, you might want to try using a pair of glasses that correct your astigmatism only--no "reading correction".
