Got mine done two summers ago, certainly has been nice not wearing glasses anymore.
Gnoahhh, make sure you use the drops they prescribe religiously.

Yessir. Drops as directed. I don't see myself shooting anything until our last schuetzen match at the end of October, and that'll be off the bench with a .32-40 weighing 14 pounds with scope and powder charge of 14 grains 4227. Pretty gentle. I'm a risk taker but not when it comes to eyesight.

My doc, who is a shooter, told me to give it about a month before is shot anything with any recoil.
As others have mentioned it was two weeks between eyes and that was when I could really see the difference between an “old” eyeball and one with a replacement lens. The new lens was much brighter and whiter where the uncorrected eye was dimmer and yellower. Sorta like the difference between a 150 watt fluorescent bulb and a 100 watt incandescent bulb.

I only had my right eye done, still have 20 vision in the left, but I can really tell the difference in brightness between the two eyes. The light bulbs are a great example, colors are much brighter with the repaired eye.

I find I need a very mild pair of readers or my progressive glasses after cataract surgery to clear see the front blade when shooting irons. Does any one else have trouble seeing the front sight without glasses?

Did you get the multi focal lense or the lense for distance?
