I'm noticing lately that when I get behind a rifle with a magnified optic, that after only a minute or two of shooting, everything starts getting blurry. By everything, I mean both the target and the reticle. I'm pretty sure this isn't the fault of the optic, because it doesn't matter if I'm behind a Nightforce, Vortex, or Leupold, everything is fine for the first couple of minutes. But after 5-6 shots, everything gets blurry and I need to close my eyes for a period of time. This period of (recovery?) time seems to be getting longer with each trip to the range.
I'm in my early 40's with 20/20 vision in my right eye as of the last time it was checked (which was probably in my late 30's).
Are my eyes going bad? Is recoil scrambling my vision? This happens with a heavy .223 AR, heavy .308 AR, and a really heavy 6.5CM bolt action.
Can anyone else who may have experienced the same thing describe what's going on here? And more importantly, how to deal with it?
