TacticalRx Beanie and Prescription Shooting Glasses Let’s face it, dad’s not getting any younger and unfortunately with age comes a change in his eyesight due to Presbyopia. Unfortunately Presbyopia is a normal part of aging which happens slowly over a lifetime. When this happens you begin to have problems with your near vision and one day you suddenly notice your front sight is a fuzzy blur. If your father has complained about having a hard time seeing his sights there IS a solution. TacticalRx is owned by a Master Optician named Bret Hunter who has developed prescription eye-wear options, such as his “Almost Lens” which is an inverted bifocal specifically to address this issue. TacticalRx offers a host of frame, lens and coating options which are literally state of the art. My suggestion is grab one of TacticalRx’s cool beanies for Father’s Day, and when he opens it tell him about TacticalRx and their options. Their glasses can be life-changing for and older shooter. Their beanies are priced at $20. For more information, please click here .
