Fixing my Peepers

[RKP]

I had cataract surgery (lens replacement) on both eyes approx. 1 week apart back in April, I haven’t worn glasses since the first eye was done or thereafter. At the 1 week follow up the sight was at 20/20 with NO complications or complaints from me. I have NO regrets on having it done what so ever, the procedure took approx. 12 min per eye (out patient) and I was totally awake (mandatory but no biggie!!) during the entire procedure and was driving the next day. They recommended and installed TECNIS Symfony (Toric) extended depth of focus IOC (intraocular lenses / # ZXT150) which gives one excellent distance/intermediate and near vision and also corrects mild astigmatism, driving at night vision is greatly improved as well.
I’ll be totally honest, I was not thrilled, at all, about someone messing with my eyes but I could not be any happier now, another follow up in Sept.

Thanks--Scheduled in for the Spring of 2020 with a guy who used to do eyes for the East Coast Seal teams. He is an accomplished shooter in his own right. At least when I see him I will be dealing with someone who understands my vision problems with shooting. At this point I am hoping my eyes will hang on that long.

My ophthalmologist is a target shooter - I'm talking about a precision match shooter that uses peep sights, so I think he will be able to steer me right.

He says I have them, but it's not time yet for the surgery. I have unusually good night vision for my age (66), much better than my wife who is six years younger than I am. But I am beginning to see the signs.

If you want to slow down the development of cataracts, avoid UV light, because ultraviolet light is one of the major risk factors for both cataracts and macular degeneration. Wear sunglasses that block 100% of UV, even on cloudy days.

It's so nice not having to wear glasses, for anything, from reading small print all the way out to distance and everything in between ... being able to see sights and cross hairs clear as a bell, shooting is a whole new ball game for me now. I told the Doc that and he said .... "I told you so !!"

Vision improvement technology at its best !!
