Default Old eyes...

Hi, Nice CBOB... Congratulations.

It looks like you have a white circular night sight on it. If you're asking about dealing with aging eyes on self defense, I honestly think that instinctive point of aim training is the way to go. Center of mass.

For target shooting on the range, rather than chase a variety of sights, I changed my eyeglasses.

I had the optometrist write a RX for me with a fixed length single focal length lens for my dominant eye that is centered a few inches beyond my outstretched hand (at front sight distance). My weak eye got my normal progressive RX.

I had this pair built as safety glasses with the side shields.

Now, my dominant eye is naturally focused on the front sight. My weak side eye lets me see the target and the rest of the range.

The proof is in the using. My scores improved with this arrangement.

Marc

Marc,
I have ordered a 10-8, 140 U notch rear and going to try that and see if that will pop the front sight for me. Thinking about either an XS front or Dawson fiber optic, if I can't get along with my existing front. I will be visiting the eye Dr. this fall so it will be a something to discuss with him.
Thanks to all for your advice and kind comments.
Anyone have any idea whether I will experience any difficulties punching the front sight out if I need to replace it?
