If you are range shooting (as opposed to CCW where you would be wearing your normal glasses), consider having a special pair made up by your eye doctor:

- Safety lenses
- Safety frames with the side shields
- dominant eye - fixed focus lens set at your arm's length plus 10 inches
- non-dominant eye - normal progressive or bi / tri focal lens

I switched to these at the range, and it made a real difference in my accuracy - plus it was much more comfortable to shoot and to pickup the front sight.

You can still shift focus from reading to target with your non-dominant eye, while always finding the front sight in focus.

Just a thought, maybe a dab of hideously bright nail polish into the dimple of each white dot. Something like fluorescent orange? God only knows, they've got some weird colors in nail coverings these days.

If applied carefully, it should dry very hard, and may not be effected by Hoppe's or other cleaning fluids. Not too sure on that, but I know it takes acetone to get some types off. I also know that Ed's Red homemade gun cleaning solution has a bit of acetone in the recipe.

Just thinking, that's a much easier solution than drifting out the sights. And, may provide a better "quick lock on" image. Might be worth a try?

Welcome back...yes point/shoot is your training process now. Shoot for center mass and work your way into better shooting. Gold bead would be better though I bet. I too have the dreaded bifocals and they can be a challenge when shooting, but you do get used to them and it get better the more you practice! NOW if you get really old like a couple guys on here and get quadraflocal glasses you might not have a prayer in heck!
