Vision was getting blurry and I went to my optometrist this afternoon. I had been suspecting it and he confirmed that I'll be needing cataract surgery in my right (non shooting) eye almost immediately and after that one heals he suggests getting the left one done as well, so This may be my last match for a little while, though I suspect I'll be healed up enough to shoot the November matches later on in the month. At least, I hope so.
