3 weeks and I was hitting the bull at 100 yards WITHOUT glasses that had just been ordered! Before, the target and sights were a total fuzz ball WITH the glasses.

If I only had 1 eye I would want it to work well. Go to another Dr.

What if I end up blind? I already had a doctor take the vision in my right eye. I don't want a....I'm sorry but here's a bunch of money for my mistake.

I can certainly understand your caution, Pete.
What if, is right.

I got my first pair of glasses when I was 44 and they were where prescriptions start
At 83 I had cataract removal from my left eye done with a laser and no problems.
One month later the right eye was done the same way and then new glasses.I use
one diopter readers for the computer.I am now 85 and can still do accurate shop work.
My eye surgeon is a woman who is now about 45.I need no glasses for driving but
wear bifocals in the shop because of grinders and milling machine.

Eye protection is vitally important, most of the time.

Is the eye that had the eye surgery bandaged up? I'm just wondering if i'll be blind for awhile until the bandage comes off?

I just had my two eyes done recently. They put a clear plastic shield over the eye to wear home and for 5 nights sleeping. You can see fine through it.
