I know I'm supposed to wear my glasses to get the correct focus when using a scope, but I'm having issues with the top rim of my frames CONSTANTLY getting in the way and making it nearly impossible to aim without adjusting them every shot. Anyone who wears glasses have any tips?

I am bespectacled myself Mr. BMN as I am myopic but I tilt my head downwards to free my right eye from my eyewear lens when peering thru a scope. I find it much clearer.

Even though I do use my glasses for reading small stuff, I do not use them with my scopes and adjust the objective and eyepiece to make everything focus.

New to scopes, but have worn glasses for 45 years. I guess I really never thought about it as I have had no problems with the scopes other than pushing my specs up on my nose from time to time. Now open and peep sites are another issue. I have a tough time focusing front, rear and target. New glasses will adorn my head this afternoon so hopefully this will help. Will read this thread with interest as it grows.

I take my glasses off for open and Peep sights because my Progressive lenses will not allow me to focus on the Target and the front/rear sight at the same time. With a scope, I can wear my glasses without a problem, although its just as easy to use the scope sans glasses......
