Good counsel!

One alternative?

I shoot Sporting Clays with medium amber lenses, and fly with dark grey.
These are magnetic and clip onto my prescription glasses which have titanium
frames.

The skeet glasses are single lens, shooting yellow, corrected for objects
at infinity, and the center of correction is slightly up on the lenses
lined up with the eyeball center when my head is down on the stock.

The flying glasses are bifocal lenses, clear, corrected for objects at
infinity on the top, corrected for the mean distance to the panel on
the bottom, and the separation line is adjusted such that it appears
the same place as the very top of the panel when I sit upright so I
don't see the line.

How'd that happen?

For the skeet glasses, he had me hold a stick like I would a shotgun,
got in front of me and marked the blank lenses where the eyeball was
looking.

For the flying glasses, he gave me the frames with blank lenses and
had me measure the distance from my nose to the center of the panel
and put tape on the lenses that lined up with the top of the panel.
