Wingshooting is wholly dependant on your ability to see and then completely focus on your target. Hunting this past October started out fine but became somewhat challenging as I noticed that my shooting eye (my left eye) wasn't my dominant eye anymore. Debris from previous PVD (posterior vitreous detachment ) episodes in the last 2-years has clouded that eye to the point where it was 20/30 in my latest eye exam, done last August, my right eye is still 20/20. I know that there may be surgical options (vitreous removal/cleaning & perhaps even others) but I'm guessing that I'll go with the corrective lense option first. My next pair of shooting glasses will have a mild correction for that deficiency in my left eye.
I know of several folks here that have suffered serious vision challenges and I also know that my situation could be much worse (this isn't me complaining). Targets don't seem to be the same problem as the background is usually the sky, but upland hunting provides all sorts of backgrounds for your shots and I'm struggling to see my game over the rib on my doubleguns. Birds that would normally have been brought to bag aren't always these days and I am troubled by that.
I'm not really interested in relearning to shoot off of my opposite shoulder (too old to change now) so I was wondering if anybody here had some better insight into the subject?
