I'm soon to have a cataract removed from my dominant eye. My questions are specifically for those who have had the same procedure and were fitted with a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL). What focal distance did you select (the power of your specific lens would be helpful) and how does your IOL work out when using a telescopic sight?

My thinking is that a hunter needs to be able to spot his prey at quite some distance, which favors a very long focal distance. But since I no longer will have adaptive focus, will that long focal distance IOL prevent me from being able to clearly see the scope's reticle?
