Makes the ground out of focus and you will arse up at some stage. Contacts do a bit of both short and wrong range vision so can read GPS and scope without glasses. I take an old pair hunting to see ballistics app and dial up correct amount. Works well for me

Yep, can attest to that. Wear sunnies a lot so got them with progressive lenses. Couldn’t understand why I was nearly arsing up going down steps all the time then finally twigged. Not good for driving either. Don’t need them for reading the dash but if you flick your eyes down then back up the transition is downright dangerous. Interesting the contact thing is a solution for you. Might have to investigate that in the future.
