I see fine with my glasses, yet would be considered legally blind without them. I make a point of occasionally practicing without my glasses (but, yes, WITH safety goggles!) at targets up to 7 yards.

The reason is that I might find myself having to fight without my glasses (either from them being knocked off at the start of the fight or being surprised while sleeping) and it's good to practice such scenarios.

prepare for the worst, and pray you don’t need to use the skills...a good plan. I’d be proud to target shoot with you, even sans glasses. :)

Honest. I did not see your post before writing mine.

I have an old friend who is 'legally blind' and can legally drive.
