Rifle Scopes FFP and Glasses

[BillW73]

I just bought a Vortex Viper PST Gen II FFP scope, my first one. My other scopes are 2 Nightforces and a Weaver V16. They are SFP. I wear progressive lens glasses.
I have never had any issues looking through the SFP scopes. However with the Vortex I am having some issues and am trying to figure out if they are scope or glasses issues.
I focused the Reticle as per the instructions, on max power and parallax on infinity. When I change power on the scope the reticle goes out of focus, by the time I am at the lowest power it is one black blob. I have found that I have to refocus the reticle every time I change power.
When I look through the scope with my glasses on, there is a bright green dot at 2 and 7 o'clock. When I look through with out my glasses the dots are not there. I do not see the dots in any of my other scopes.
I do not have another FFP scope to compare with so I am looking for insight here. It is my close in vision that is being corrected.
Thanks for the help.

When you "refocus" the reticle, are you adjusting the diopter or changing the parallax?

Something must be off, because I wear progressive lenses also and just got a PST FFP 5x25 scope. I haven't got a chance to take it to the range, or even outside yet, just got to point it out the dining room window after I mounted it. I have not noticed any "blurring/blobing" of the reticle, the Ocular was adjusted (with glasses on), I ran the mag ring up & down numerous times, with me behind the gun, without any "blurring" of anything. Hope you get it worked out. Mac

I am using the, as the manual calls it, "fast focus eyepiece". Every time I change power, I also have to turn this to bring the reticle back into focus.

Odd. Are you having the issue when you wear your glasses or without your glasses? I normally need reading glasses, but I never shoot with them. I use the diopter adjustment to focus the reticle for my naked eye (with uncorrected safety glasses). Have you tried that?

It's the scope. Call Vortex and have them fix it. A perfectly good scope should not be doing this

I wear progressive lenses and have not experienced this on qui a few scopes. Maybe have a friend that wears glasses try to replicate what you are experiencing. A call to Vortex might solve your problem.

Well, I had some other people look through the scope, and no one else had a issue. So it must be me and my glasses. I am due for a eye check up. I think I will bring it up.
Thanks for all the replies.
