New Eyeball Alert

So I get the new lens in my left eye first week of January...hopefully that will be the end of a long, long haul. I got a new lens in my right eye a little over a year ago after losing most of the vision in that eye from complications of botched dental surgery. Cataracts developed in both eyes.

The cataract in my left eye couldn't be removed at that time (plus doctors are hinky about cutting on both eyes at the same time, and hey, I'm good with that!).

Has been an interesting journey for my shooting, as I've chronicled here...am looking forward to sporting clays for real! I'm okay now in good light, but in lower light I just can pick those clays up.

We'll see (I profoundly hope so! LOL!)...

Have you tried experimenting with different shooting lens?

Good luck with your eye surgery! At 65 my vision has affected my shooting as well. But I know you've gone through the wringer with your eyes, I wish you all the best! I hope you and your sweetie have real nice Thanksgiving. We do have so much to be grateful for, take care.

The ophthalmologist that's gonna do my eye cuttin' is a shooter. I asked for an Eotech-style reticle in that eye. Seems a perfectly reasonable request, if you ask me.

Hope the surgery goes well. I am having the same thing done to my right (dominant) eye after the first of the year. Any suggestions for variable lens vs. fixed/near or fixed far?
