Brilliant to have someone who truly understands the subject! So much misinformation gets spread around on vision and shooting- Ed Lyons knocks it out the park again.

[@donmurray4646]

This channel is SO much more than many others. You have the normal "We went shooting somewhere" content, and then you have things like this. Just massively great!

[@thecastbulletkid]

What a fantastic speaker. Clear communication.

[@chadnolte9134]

Very informative. John you are doing a wonderful job of seeking out different pieces of the game and bringing some very knowledgeable experts to provide great information. Keep it up.

Great information. Too bad I am not in the UK. I am severely cross dominate. Your explanation on seeing and perception was spot on in my case. I am severely left eye dominate and right handed. When sighting down the barrel it actually looks bent. The right eye sees the bead and the last 2/3rds of the barrel and the left eye sees the first 1/3rd of the barrel with the left eye taking in all the information and the right eye focusing only on the bead and only along for the ride.

Another great video. Please keep on making great informative videos like these.

Really interesting conversation with someone who knows his stuff, well done both.

[@JasperTielen]

Really nice to see and hear some talk so passionate about a very interesting subject. Wish I knew a person in the Netherlands that's the same.

[@lifeshort]

Informative. I need to see this guy!

[@zoominmicroscopy]

Fantastic interview!!

[@bumblesquatt]

Ha! The irony that I wear pretty much the same gold rimmed turtleshell arm aviators as Ed and Johnny when its sunny. Had my eyes lasered a few years ago and I will never look back *pun intended*. I want a set of Pilla's but the price tag for something that might not work in terms of lens colours is what has put me off so far. I don't want to waste £600 on lenses that might not be right for me, so when the time comes I will be speaking to Ed Lyons, had him on my radar for many years and soon I'll bite the bullet and get myself a pro set!

I’m 73 years old and live in WI, I have struggled with vision issues for the 60 yrs I’ve been shooting. Too bad your not on this side of the pond where I could benefit from an evaluation

[@danhill6333]

Very interesting discussion. Much more to it than "eye" expected. 😉 Thank you Ed Lyons, Jonny, and Sasha.

[@iantunnicliffe4509]

Really good learnt a lot 👍

[@DavidJones-lw2lp]

Great video, it would be good to do one with him talking about scopes, deer and range shooting, debunking lots of myths such as the 30mm tube letting more light through than the 1 inch tube etc. 👍🏻

[@andrewsmall1746]

Great video. Ed's eye training kits helped me and I'm a professional shooting instructor. They definitely train your eyes and let you 'feel' the difference between types of focus.

[@tudorwynphillips6458]

Fabulous, great information. Thanks for the video.

[@guy1234484]

Nice to have an interview with an optometrist who has really built his business around specialising in shooting-related optometry. There is nothing more infuriating than hearing self-proclaimed eye dominance experts giving their sermons from on high (or over KZbin) and then trying to sell their apparently life-changing invention that will solve all your problems, regardless of who you are.

[@coleenschlichte677]

Very informative,. I need to work on consistent gun mount before I mess with my eyes! Lol. But as a physical educator looking at kids it makes me think about their visual processing and how to improve it

[@ajsleith]

Fascinating 🧐
