    Default Gun Friendly Eye-Doc/Optometrist in Denver

    I live in SE Denver and it is time for some new glasses. My current prescription is not that strong but I have some astigmatism. I'm looking to bring in a t-1 and a ACOG to try to get the best reticle picture I can get. My T-1 blooms and my ACOG is not as clear as I think it can be.

    I can do some eye-to-scope measurements to replicate a mounted scope if I can't bring the rifle in. Mainly looking for someone to do the eye-check and prescription and spend a few extra minutes working with the scopes.

    Surprised the search function didn't find anything.

    Thanks
    I'll stop buying black rifles when my wife stops buying black shoes.

    Dr Michels (spelling) at the Costco at Quincy and Wads is a avid gun nutt and might be able to help.

    wow, that's some dedication, bring your rifle to your optometrist to make sure you're seeing the sights correctly. I was looking for someone who could do some full size goggles in my prescription because I hate shooting with my glasses (and am way too blind to shoot without them), so I guess we're probably looking for the same guy.

    I used the One-Hour-Optical at the Park Meadows Mall (its the one right across from the Teeth Whitening and massage vendors on the bottom west side - I may have the name wrong). They set me up with custom shooting glasses with different prescriptions in the right and left eyes to maximize seeing the pistol sights. They should have no problem doing the same for your ACOG.

    BTW, I have an ACOG and don't have a problem with it and my normal no-line glasses.

    I use Dr. Jeff Marlatt at ParkRidge Vision Specialist near Park Meadows Mall. He is an avid Hunter and Sporting Clays shooter.

    How about on North side? Lens fell out and broke in half this morning and I'm super can't drive blind. Fortunately have my sunglasses in RX, but my eyes are already starting to hurt not used to wearing them (esp indoors at night).

    Sucks with being a weekend. I was going to order from zenni but I dont have 2 weeks to wait. So need to grab at least an Rx today/tommorow and hopefully order something. (Need to find my plan card too, though usually sales are better than my coverage.)

    Might just have to do pearl/lenscrafers. Maybe the costco near me? Never really looked at their vision section.

    Dr. Jeff is the man! Highest recommendation. Worth the drive from anywhere in the metro area.
