    Default Scope/Iron site shooting with eyeglasses

    How many of you aim 'over the frame' of your eyeglasses? I'm wondering what methods folks use with the optics of both iron and glass sights when using glasses or even contacts.

    I wear reading glasses (50+ yrs) and find myself looking over the frames for clarity, not sure how that works with contacts.

    What do you do?

    Right over the top on a scoped rifle. Through the lens with handguns.

    I only shoot with impact resistant / safety lens glasses, don't shoot with my script ones. Having a ophthalmologist pull glass out of your eye that bounced off your eye socket isn't that much fun.

    I generally try to look through the lens, even. When using a scope. Sometimes when I'm not careful, I can see 2 dots through my Aimpoint-style red dot and I have to adjust my glasses.
