Same goes for laser pointers. I'm not sure what the solution is. I have become quite adept at point-shooting, out of necessity. Just a data point.
I need glasses to read due to presbyopia. I've had cataract surgery at a fairly young age due to prescription steriods. My far vision is just a shade under 20/20 in my left eye and a shade over in my right. I get two prescriptions - one for daily wear and one with the left lens corrected for 'reading' the front sight at 36 inches. I have two sets of Oakley's with the prescription in the left lens for shooting and general wear. Most of the time I don't realize I have them on.
My daily wear glasses are transition bifocal, and I shoot in them enough to get the head tilt thing right.
That works for my particular circumstance, it may not yours.
