I just had cataract surgery on my right eye whereby they removed the existing lens and replaced it with a plastic one. The new lens is focused from about 8 feet to infinity. Near vision has not been corrected yet because the surgery was less than a week ago. Right now I see distance in the right eye and close up in the left. The left eye is scheduled for August.
Now the question, I tried a pistol the other night and was all over the target. Has anyone gone through cataract surgery and is now shooting? Did they correct the near vision with glasses? I am kind of anxious since I don't want to have to give up a life long hobby, but right now not being able to focus on the front sight causes all kinds of strange patterns on the target.
Shooting 22 pistol indoors at 50 feet, I used to be able to keep most of the shots well within the 8 ring. Now I'm lucky to keep them on the paper! I even tried it benched but because the sight is so out of focus I never know if I've got the same point of aim.
Somebody tell me you've had it done and it'll all be alright.
Thanks people.....
