My eyes and specs. I can either see the front sight, or I can see the target. Not both. [View all]

Is there something my optometrist can do for this?
I have my "driving and girlwatching glasses" which focus everything from 20' to infinity, and my "Video Data Terminal glasses" which work from 12-36".

Bare eyes are good for about 4' to 20'.
