Major PITA,
Not to worry there is life after 40. I am 57 and my eyesight went from better than 20/15 to 20/25 corrected. I am still shooting iron sights and still doing pretty darn well. You just need to see a good optimist. I shoot Hi-power rifle competition and am classified as a hi-master. I just finished shooting today an iron sight match at 600 yds with a score of 197 out of a possible 200 points in some pretty tricky wind conditions. With the right eye prescription you won't have any issues. As far as the scope, just buy the one you want as it will still be just as good in the future as it is today unless you encounter an eye disease.
