I do that with scoped rifles because my prescription glasses seem to distort the image as The magnification increases , but with the Red Dot having now magnification it isn’t a problem .
I will mention that I use a special pair of glasses when I’m shooting competition Clay Targets . They are set up to sit high on my nose and the optometrist got me to hold a broom like I shoulder a gun and took measurements of where my pupil was in relation to the frame .
I think it had something to do with the fact your head is forward and your looking out of the top of the lenses so they had to be ground differently .
I’m not a hundred percent sure of the technicalities of that , but they are perfect for Shotgunning.

I have some similar, also got mine tinted an amber colour to help the clays stand out.
