Gary, you'll do alright...matter of fact, you will be just amazed! You should need glasses only for close up, if this doctor has decided this with you.
As my cataracts were getting worse, I looked high and low for frames for my contact lenses, but they just don't make them that small.....so I decided to get both eyes done right.....best feeling in the world to wake up every morning and see everything in perfect 20/20 detail!
Have not figured out (yet) how to shoot my guns accurately, as up close, when I aim, the front and rear sights are blurry, but the target is perfect. With +2.50 power glasses, the sights are perfect, but the target is blurry.
Might have to make some type of split lens glasses.....pure plastic on the left, +2.50 on the right......so far, I miss target shooting a lot because of this. Might have to just depend on the laser dot system I have on them.
Let us know how you do, Gary, on your operation....remember, a little scary at first.....make sure they give you something through an IV to relax you.....you DEFINITELY will need this. Relax and do not move.....after you go home with an eye protective cup for one day, the next day will be like being born all over again..
And don't forget to use those eye drops for the time the doctor prescribes for you!
(Jeez, I sound like your Mom!)
