I've been to the regular eye doctor and he seems to think my eyes are fine. I beg to differ but, it really only causes me trouble when I'm shooting. So, I'd like to get an exam from an eye doc that understands what your eyes have to do when you shoot (especially pistol). Somewhere within an hour of Tampa would be great but, I'll make a day trip out of it if I need to.

TIA.

One of the owners of Shooters World is an ophthalmologist, Dr. Henderson.  I think he's mainly out of Brandon.

In the same boat as you.  Just today I was given the name, Dr. Glenn Altman of University Eye Care in Sarasota, think I'll make an appointment next week. Supposedly he is a shooter and very gun friendly. Been told you can bring weapon into office for sight correction.

If you were in Miami I would suggest Dr. Damian Lue. He also shoots competitively. He has helped many shooters.

I'm headed in to shooters world to test out a new lower either tomorrow or Sunday so, I'll see if I can get in touch with Dr. Henderson there, if not I will give his office a call. Keep us posted on what you find with Dr. Altman and I will do the same.

You're better off calling his office. He's never in the shop.

He's not in Tampa but but Dr Ross on lee Rd in Orlando treats a lot of the professional athletes in this area and is very good. When I told him that I had trouble seeing the front sight since it's not in the "optical Center" of my lenses, he told me to bring the rifle in and we'd set up the way that I shoot and he'd find where the optical center needs to be and make the eye glasses to match so that I could see properly.
