My wife wears glasses and cant see distance without them on, however she cant see through a scope while wearing her glasses. Is there any way to fix this with a new scope? Wondering if an adjustable objective or what? Looking for something as she likes shooting and is wanting to hunt with me. Looking for something cheaper then a new wife lol.

I'm not sure why she wouldn't be able to see through the scope with her glasses. So without the glasses she can see through it? Only thing I can think of is get a scope known for lots of eye relief and a generous eye box. I'd suggest a Leupold 3-9x40. And make sure you get it mounted in the proper position on your wife's rifle, and have her focus the eyepiece for her eyes.

I hunted with glasses for years and never did have a problem looking through any of my scopes.
Is the rifle and scope that she is using adjusted for her? I did have a little bit of a problem with aligning my eyes at the correct level and at times I would look over the top of my glasses but once I got the correct scope mounts and everything adjusted I was just fine.

Along the same thought, has she ever checked to see which eye is dominate?
I have known right handed people that have a left dominate eye. This could lead to a problem using a scope.

My grandpaw had this problem. He had lasik surgery and can see fine now at distance and through a scope.
Seems weird to me. I have the same issue as I have to wear glasses to see distance. I would think that if she took the glasses off and adjusted parallax to her eye she shouldn’t have a problem.

It would also help if we knew exactly what her problem is with the scope.
Is it the focus or just can't see through it?
