If you've had cataract surgery and know which lenses your doctor used, please tell me how they work for shooting. I mostly do action type pistol shooting, IDPA and USPSA so, I need to be able to see my front sight clearly and still be able to move about.
I have the onset of cataracts. I met with an eye doctor today to discuss having a lensoctomy and intraocular lens surgery. It's basically the same as cataract surgery but I'm just not going to wait until my cataracts are really bad.
When he explained the operation to me he said I had two choices in lenses. One being, Restor lenses that offer great sight for distance and close up but get fuzzy in the mid-range. The second option was Cystalens which has great mid-range and distance but, are weak in the reading range and may require reading glasses.
The doctor who was recommended to me is not a shooter so, when I explained to him that I need to be able to have a clear front sight, he admitted to not knowing exactly which lens to recommend.
Thanks, Dave
