Thanks.
It may be the Owner and not the Boss. Either person, it’s the information that’s most important.

Re: Cateracts and seeing the target

Just know that a distance eye exam inside a room may or may not correlate with your sight picture/distances. Discuss with your Ophthalmologist and provide detailed information.

Re: Cateracts and seeing the targ

Guess you shoot rifle? I’ve been through this and tried everything to include post front sight to see more black with Navy Hold/center of mass , 6 O’clock Line of white, etc., etc., etc. You may find some relief in low light conditions, some days, but it will be short lived depending on your catarac...

Re: Shooting after premium lens replacement eye surgery?

Mike M. above mentioned the monofocal, per his Doc, is the best visual acuity. That’s what I’ve always read online. Different lens allow different percentage of light into the eye is also per research online. Medicare will pay for only needed cataract surgery and provide a set of basic lens, meanin...

Re: Shooting after premium lens replacement eye surgery?

I had both eyes done, like someone above I chose the mono focal lens as it seemed the best option for me. I have astigmatism and apparently they isn't fixed by lens replacement.

Re: Shooting after premium lens replacement eye surgery?

I have a friend who shoots outdoor prone smallbore and had cataract surgery. He had the "multi-focal" lenses implanted and can see great. But shooting metallic sights, he has had a problem with uncalled wide 9s. They all seem to be the same radius from the center, but in fairly random dir...

Re: Shooting after premium lens replacement eye surgery?

I had cataract surgery done on both eyes. After discussion with the eye doc, I went with monofocal lenses, to give best acuity. Multifocals work by projecting two images onto the retina, and hoping the brain will pick the one with the best focus. The current accomodative lens isn't consistent, and ...

Re: Shooting after premium lens replacement eye surgery?

Really interesting to hear how others are getting on after their surgery. I was in my early seventies when I had mine done. I was having trouble driving at night and glaring light was very distracting. My shooting was terrible (50M prone and 25yds indoor) I have standard lenses in both eyes now, my...

Hello,
I was previously “Anschutz,” for about ten (10) years then laptop crashed and bought an IPad Pro. This is a restart with my nickname and last name to prove-not a scammer. Several or more on here know me for references, should I buy or sale again.
Thanks,
OdieR…..
