- On the back of some videos we have done with Mr Solomon’s I booked a trip to see Ed Lyons, one of the world’s authorities in sports vision.
I don’t know what I expected to happen - but this experience has improved my daily life in every way (and hopefully with a bit of time, my shooting will follow suit!)

Love your channel, sir! Watching from Montana, USA- really makes us want to take a trip over the pond for some shooting :)
Just had cataracts removed and replacement lenses added to both eyes. I can’t believe the difference. I can actually see again. I like how your optometrist stores his shells in his exam room. 6:12. It must be easier dealing with a shooter as opposed to trying to explain everything thing to someone who doesn’t shoot.
Glad you guys are going into so much depth with eye dominance and other associated shooting issues.
4:40, slabs of ammo in the corner. GOLD!!!!
Is there some kind of agreement where we’re just pretending Jonny isn’t wearing Dahmer glasses orrrrr…..? 😂😂
We have a lot in common…
🤓
Super interesting episode 👍
Once again, one of the best videos I have seen on eyes and shooting and improvement. Excellent. I wish I could see Ed Lyons when I am in England later this month.
Ed L is very good at explaining optometric concepts in a readily accessible way, which many clinicians struggle with. Very much enjoyed this video but doubt there’s going to be any space in Ed L’s diary for a new shooting patient consultation! Watching Jonny react to his new specs brought back memories of when I was first prescribed specs and struggled crossing the road when I left the opticians as I couldn’t judge distances properly! 😂
Thank you! JC gets the best out of me!
Look out world Johnny's got to good eyes. No more excuses for missing a target. LOL
Ok lads who wants to go shooting with these guys so infectious maybe even a small sherry or two.All the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Great information on how vision can be corrected, thanks guys 👍👍
As I mentioned in the first video of this series, this is outstanding information. Since the first video, I have started using corrective contacts when is shoot. I have learned that I too have a astigmatism in my left (off) eye. The script is not too strong but oh what a difference. I am experiencing the same things you are Jonny. Seeing the target faster, clearer and with detail. Sometimes they look like trash bin lids.
Hello from Colorado. I so look forward to your videos they have become my Sunday afternoon ritual. And have added a trip to the UK to do a driven hunt on my bucket list. Keep the videos coming Thanks.
As always, a very informative video. Having Lyons and Solomons doing what they do best is great.
Great video and update.
I’ve recently taken up clay shooting and have been struggling a bit with discovering what works for me and my eyes.
I have a weak left eye which had an operation for astigmatism when I was 4. My two eyes open sight is great however I think that I’ve been challenged with where my weak eye helps and hinders. I’ve recently felt that (after watching your previous vid with the Ed’s) squinting the weak eye works wonders.
Very inspiring. Love the channel. Keep up the great work.
Awesome glasses! I need to get my prescription redone 😁 great to see you guys back at Kibworth again!
As Ben Stiller said..... Hey Four Eyes
I’ve been awaiting this since your members video with the serial killer and Italian stallion glasses video……
Mr. L is getting a call Monday! 😎👨🏼🦯
Great video! love the information!
That was fascinating, thanks.
This is great. It’ll be interesting to see if your shooting improves once you get used to better vision.
Wow, that was very interesting! Being of a certain age, I am now noticing that my eye sight is beginning to deteriorate and I definitely need glasses for reading and writing as my arms are no longer long enough. During this video I found myself closing each eye in turn in order to see the effect on clarity and low and behold, the picture through my right eye is much sharper than the picture through my left eye. I think that I may need to explore the possibilities of a visit to Ed Lyons in order to get my old eyes checked out. Only problem is that it sounds like more expense, my wife may very well kill me!!!
My favorite group to watch, learn and laugh with...
We need a part two with these glasses
I reckon we can arrange that!!
When I got my first glasses to correct astigmatism at 12 years old I remember feeling dizzy and when I looked straight down at the ground it seems that it was sloping down to the right. It was very strange getting on the automatic escalator to go down to the main floor of the mall as it was hard to judge where to put my foot on the moving steps. A couple of days later everything seemed normal.
Love you videos! Very technical subjects covered with great production. I’m a US skeet shooter with recent 50+ year old eyes going down the same journey as yourself. Recently back from the NSSA World shoot (which was a train wreck) finally went to the eye Dr. and now glasses are prescribed, tri-focals WTF! I am envious of how your optometrist is a shooter and if he has any allies in the US I would greatly appreciate a contact.
But there is in the usa, his name Dr Richard Colo
Yes indeed, Rich Colo is a friend of mine, great guy and well worth talking to, also Dr Fred Edmunds in NYC
I never knew there was so much customization or corrections possible, specifically for shooters. I wonder if similar services are available here in Canada. I’ll be looking into that.
Thank you
Fascinating
Excellent content.Well Jonny maybe you can do the Longthorne justice from here on in 😈
Unlikely 😂
You know its going to be good when you see the cartridge boxes in the exam room.
Wow what did I win? Jonny help!
I wish we could get that kinda service here in the states.
Funny you should make that comment a friend how passed away earlier this year had been a gunsmith for Boss I think he did his apprenticeship there he was very highly respected he used to go to the USA every year and work on American guns not sure how with we had quite a lot of conversations about sight pictures and eye dominance he said the USA understood the problem and the opticians were more knowledgeable than we were in the Uk so might pay to do some research at home.
Getting new glasses, is like seeing for the first time, I have a stigmatism too.
Never noticed how much you wrap your finger around the trigger before Jonny .
Must be awesome to see in HD , I really struggle with close fast birds .
Great video as always, so easy to listen to all three of you talk about what you're so passionate and so knowledgeable about, but what would the real-world cost to be having that done???
Glad you found it interesting! The assessment is £595 and takes two hours minimum 🤓💥💥
It's like the old joke about the city slicker who went to buy a horse from a farmer. after picking out the one he wanted the farmer said: "Now I gotta tell you something about that horse; he don't look too good."
"What are you talking about?" said the city slicker, "That's a beautiful animal!"
"Suit yourself" said the farmer as he took the man's money. On the way back to the city he chose to let go of the reins to roll a cigarette right where the road curved. The horse wandered off the road and walked squarely into a tree. Infuriated, he went back to the farm and confronted the farmer.
"You crooked S.O.B., you sold me a blind horse!"
"Well I already told you" said the farmer calmly, "He don't look too good."
I would love to visit this gentleman. I've struggled with my eyes since a child and growing up I've become very bleary eyed in my right eye my dominant eye, the opticians tell me my brain has turned the single off so will never see clearly in me right eye again. so now I've switched shoulder and shoot of my left and I'm doing OK but always think how much better I could possibly shoot with too fully working eyes.
You will not regret it!
I need a sports optometrist! My glasses are good, but I'm beginning to feel they could be so much more.
I started to chear on left eye with "blenda" on glasses. Light white shield... just disable left eye. But I have to go to doctor...
But that means no more excuses Jonny🤭🤭🤭
No, it’s just one less
Been shooting DTL for years and have never seen a target clearly i wish Jonny well with them
All this great work and Ant Mclearnon will still beat you on the 2023 Clay tour ;-)
Guaranteed 😂
Ant has a stigmatism, Johnny lol 😆
I'd be interested if Mr Lyons could help with colour vision in anyway. The process looks like something everyone should go through
Potentially yes - I have a video on this coming out in a week or so on my channel
@@edlyonssportsvision9197 all subscribe and waiting 😁
Anyone else think they have been seeing fine their whole life but now convinced they are half blind and need these superman x-ray spex?
👍👍
What ap was it for the visual training?? Name?/
I was just looking for shooting prescription glasses just yesterday! I have an eye exam on Thursday and want to get a set made for clays. Where would be the best place to check. Great vid as always Johnny!
There’s lots of options these days, some budget products under £100 with inserts from Evolution, full prescription lenses from Optilabs and then higher end products from Ranger, Pilla and EE.
There are some videos on my YT channel which may be of interest (it’s very amateurish compared to this so prepare to be underwhelmed)
I can whole heartedly recommend getting a set of what I have:

Plus you look 11/10
Thankyou gents 🤓
Jonny or TGS CZcams channel.. is the telegram link spam???
@@tgsoutdoors is the telegram link from you guys?
Great video,mention of cost would be helpful.
Does anyone else want to know if Johnny still shoots with one or two eyes open while using his new glasses?
Currently one eye, but have just changed stock to something I prefer with the glasses. We shall see if two eyes happens in 2023
The comment about choosing prescription shooting glasses over contacts because of astigmatism was interesting. Do you think that holds for all individuals with astigmatism, because of the factor of the lenses rotating? The best lens options aren’t all offered in prescription options (Riact, Pilla visors, etc). I wonder if shooting with contacts and non prescription glasses could be more convenient if one’s prescription changes over time.
It all depends on how the lens behaves when on the eye during static and dynamic testing. One of the issues we have is the lens manufacturers only make the parameters they can sell the most of, rather than every single prescription that exists. This can be fine for day to day use but may be too much of a visual compromise for shooters. There are some lenses which fuse soft and GP technology and I’ve had great success fitting these with clients winning world titles after going down the Hybrid route
@@edlyonssportsvision9197 Thanks for the response! A really interesting topic. I've enjoyed spending some time on your channel since watching this video.
Should have gone to SPECSAVERS.!!!
This affects gun fitting...cue Longthorne episode 🤣🤣🤣
Any excuse for another stock…
@@tgsoutdoors It's all good Jonny 😉
@Ed Lyons SportsVision Hi Ed, besides correcting JC's astigmatism and spherical power, which is part of a normal sight test, how did you incorporate any of the issues found from your sports vision screening into the specs? Did you modify the PD, use mono pds? Incorporate heights to adjust for his mount position, did you add prisms? What did you do besides give him his full rx? Really keen to understand as a fellow optometrist.
It'll also be interesting to see how long he takes to adjust to the fact that he wont now be suppressing his non dominant eye. Thanks in advance
Great question - I’ll be running a training course for Optoms next year all being well! Lots of interesting stuff to drill into with the sports-specific testing equipment these days
That sounds interesting... I will keep an eye out for it
However, I was more interested in knowing what information you used beyond a normal prescription to dispense the specs, as the video didn't really relate the benefits of all the extra checks to the final glasses produced....
It was very focussed on astigmatism correction, which is corrected routinely in every sight test and dispense of specs, where required.
I've tested and prescribed specs for shooting school instructors and other shooters, as well as friends and had no issues and was really hoping this video or your response would identify how what you provide differs, and unfortunately it hasn't on this occasion.
I'd be happy to send patients to you if you can answer my query. Thanks in advance, may also help the audience understand the benefits better too
Hi Sundeep. This isn’t an Optom education video, that’ll be covered in the course. It’s amazing how frequently “the basics” aren’t dealt with, let alone the more complex stuff - glad you’ve got it locked in though! I don’t have any diary space for three months, but we do have a cancellation list which is pretty active if you need to send anyone across 👍
Thanks Ed, but I was actually more concerned from a customers perspective.
I just happen to be in the same occupation, so my question was more technical, but essentially I was asking as some of the other viewers have asked, what do you give us in your specs above and beyond the prescription from the local opticians.
There just wasn't any mention of anything but the normal prescription going into the specs.
I'm going to leave this here as I dont want to come across as putting you on the spot or for you to have to duck the question for a 3rd time as that's not my intention.
A lot of the viewers would've been led to believe the glasses incorporate all the results of your extra tests, but my interpretation is they are just the standard prescription as shotgun shooting involves looking at distance and having a wide field of view. Adjustments to prescriptions are generally required for Rifle shooting, I work with a rifle shooter in the GB team who is also an optician so i know a little about that too, great guy actually
Thanks for your time and all the best
@@sundeeprana hi Sundeep, who is your friend in the GB team? Wonder if I know him?
So what we all want to know is how much will it cost I know everybody will be different but whats the average cost just as an idea of what to expect
Hello Brian - the assessment takes a minimum of two hours and costs £595, quite frequently we go over but the fee is capped. The Vision Training kit is £139. Please feel free to email me with any other questions you may have 👍
Are those glasses just normal glasses or are they also offering shatterproof protection from clay fragments?
Fully impact resistant and complete with all the top coatings in them too 💪
What in the world are digital glasses?
Great question! Digital surfacing is a technique used to create the most accurate, precise optics. Digital lenses provide sharper image quality, better peripheral vision and improved contrast sensitivity 😊
Next step will be to grow a bit of a beard to allow the stock to meet the cheekbone more smoothly.
Did it help Johnny ?
I have only shot game twice since this video was made - first time was epic and second was the worst of my life 😂
Have hunted twice since this video and both went exceptionally.
Need to spend some time behind a gun when work calms down
Worth the money then
Did that evaluation and treatment cost you any money?
It did indeed. An assessment lasts for two hours on average and costs £595. Jonny’s took a little longer but he wasn’t charged overages 😉
Unfortunately being a sub-par clay shot isn’t something that’s covered on the NHS
@@jccarter286 Right...we should all be as "sub-par" at clay shooting as you!
Very interesting, but why the annoying piano tinkling away in the background
I have my own personal pianist whom accompanies me at all times!
