I was lucky, and blessed, that my eye surgeon was a fellow target shooter.
I had vision of about 20/400 bilaterally, and had worn thick lenses for most of my life. But thick lenses still make details difficult at times.
So, when my vision started dimming, I thought it was time for new glasses - but the optometrist said, "Nope - you have cataracts!" And he set up arrangements with s surgeon from Tulsa - was living in OK at the time.
Was fantastic to actually "watch" the surgery. But the surprise came when I sat up, and could immediately see the second hand on a clock across the room! Had never been able to do that. And when my friend drove me home, I could see individual leaves on trees, and mortar between bricks. A whole new world.
A month later he did the other eye. The first, my right (and dominant eye), he made just a touch far-sighted, about 20/15, or however you write it. The left eye was corrected to 20/20. So target shooting became a lot better.
Still wear glasses - for reading or doing close work - but not 24/7.
