Prescription glasses?

Glasses. How the feck do you train them to remain where you put them and to be where you want them when you need them.

My arms are no longer long enough so I need glasses to see close up, but they are bloody irritating and cannot get used to them. And no varifocals don’t work for me.

I wear varifocals but it took me about 3 days for my brain to adjust to them. I tried contacts, one eye being for distance and the other for reading, it took a couple of days to acclimatise but eventually it worked really well. Unfortunately my banana fingers made it incredibly difficult to get them in and out so I gave up and went back to my glasses.

I have tried them and whilst others have just keep going, never go on with them.

My long distance vision is good. I am just going in the footsteps of my grandfather and will find a pair that I can look over the top of with a certain disapproving look.

Easypeasy - you buy lots of pairs of them and always, always leave them at home; bit like binoculars really………

As a non glasses wearer I was wondering if most people who wear glasses do so when shooting?
I only ask because I was checking zero with a friend the other day and his rifle was grouping very badly. After a few groups he asked if I'd try his rifle. The diopter was way out for me so I adjusted, shot and grouped well..
Mumbling my apologies I passed his rifle back, he adjusted the diopter to suit himself and shot a 3 round single hole. Much better than the inch and a half groups that he'd put on paper earlier.
I noticed once he'd set the scope to suit his eye the eyepiece was backed out almost all the way to its stop.
Obviously setting up diopter correctly is of huge importance, would wearing his glasses while shooting create a more complicated process of setting up his scope or would it put less strain on his eye and potentially allow for a more parallax free setup?
Oh and all action/scope bolts were checked, no obstructions in stock to barrel. It was purely a wandering zero due to parallax shift

I wear contact lenses and the big advantage is I can wear safety specs as well without having to faff about with dioptre adjustment.

Well I think I've gotten to the bottom of it and it was probably bugger all to do with glasses and more to do with technique.
His scope is a z4i and has a fixed focus which is set to be parallax free at 109 yards. Magnification was wound up from 7x to 10x which amplified the issue and zero range was 80y which induced parallax due to his eye not being central to the tube.
Next range day we're going to get him zeroed at 109, wound back down to his usual 7x and try to get him chasing scope shadow to put his eye central to the scope and restore a bit of confidence in his setup.
Cheers for all the replies
