TAM I had cataract surgery two years ago and at the time had lens implants done. I was near sighted and the doctor gave me the choice of excellent sight at near, mid or far range. I told him that shooting rifles and pistols was my main hobby. He told me that he could give me excellent sight for distance but also where I could still see the sights on a pistol. This is the path I chose and am really pleased at the outcome.

I only wear glasses now for reading and not having to wear them has put me back in the game for long shots with my scoped rifles. The change has been wonderful for me even with a handgun. My only drawback is that the lenses that were used have blue uv filter in them and need a little more light now than I used to. Night vision has improved and really do not need sunglasses during the day.

By all means talk to your doctor and explain to him what you would like and ask if there are any drawbacks to that. I am a little older than you and would do it again in a heartbeat. Good luck in your endeavor to improve your eyesight. I don't miss the trifocals a bit.
