Larry, I have exactly the same problem and with the same solution and problems. I am working to shift it back because it wasn't always this way. My right eye has degenerated faster than my left and I didn't always keep mt prescription up.


I've had my right eye checked by two doctors. It's not bad with my current prescription--other than for shooting. And a change in prescription won't help. But it's now so much better than it was prior to solving the macular pucker problem that I can't really complain all that much. I was just looking for an easy fix--like a stronger prescription. Unfortunately, both docs tried that with their little machine and it isn't the answer. But considering that before dealing with macular pucker, during a typical round of skeet (depending on background, light conditions, etc) I'd totally lose somewhere from 2-5 targets. I'd see them come out of the house and they'd then disappear. Now I'll very rarely maybe pick one up real late.

Guess I need to make sure that all the birds I shoot flush with the sky in the background.
