That sucks , I hate that happened.
I have considered lasik myself, younger family member in his 30s had it done a few years ago and said it was less than 30 seconds. Not convinced it’s for me either.

Re : Post #18 .
I have learned to HATE Optometrists now .
I'm sure there must exist at least one that can communicate and give feedback using logic and objective facts , but l haven't run into one yet . ( Into my early geezerhood , my acuity is still pretty good when eyes are "fresh" , think +/- 20/25 . But in recent years , eye fatigue is increasingly rapid . But every attempt, " normal general use prescription is massively Worse than naked eyes , to where l just shrug and throw them away. Eventually, I'll find one amenable to " just write me what l tell you , and I'll pay you double the usual fee " . )

I need reading glasses and when shooting with iron sites it's all just a blur. I get it on target, just a bigger spread.. I do have a dot on mine (which is the way to go), but when I use my wife's gun, she only has sites. I've been working on my point and shoot both eyes open between 5 - 7 yards (no sites or dot), trying to keep the grouping as tight as I can on center mass. When I'm comfortable with the grouping I'll will move it out to 10 yards and so on.. Funny thing is, I'm better with strong hand only point and shoot.
I do have bifocals I use at the range, when I want to use sites over the green dot. At some point might look at lasix, but not sure if it is worth the hassle. Plus I heard that can sometimes cause other issues (dry and scratchy eyes).

I prefer Shooting-specific safety glasses such as Wiley X and others simply because their lenses typically tend to wrap around the head enough to block most things that might get in your eye from the back side of the glasses.
I was an RSO for both IDPA and USPSA and during a match one afternoon I was timing a guy and his gun or ammo had a problem and decided to blow up. That in and of itself isn't all that uncommon since we are all pushing the edge of what we should and should not be doing. Anyway something knocked my safety glasses off and when I looked there was a big impact mark on the back edge of the right lens where something had ricocheted off of something and then tried to come in behind my glasses. Had I been wearing traditional glasses I might not have a functional right eye any longer.
Admittedly that's not something that happens every day but it does happen and since I experienced it one I prefer to to eliminate the possibility of it happening again.

I agree, thanks for sharing that. I think more folks should share their safety stories if they have them. It’s easy to say wear your safety gear, we all become complacent , then things happen. Sharing these personal stories gives folks something to think about that might make a difference.
I think it’s important to understand good PPE does have its value and its limitations. Even the best money can buy. I had a friend that had all his ppe on, wrap arounds with the foam edges to keep dust out, face shield, snood , hard hat, “greens”, everything you could think of and still had steel go into his eye at the mill. Just a very unfortunate freak accident that cost him his eye.
There were things and I’m not getting into here that led to this including some fault of his own.
I’m not disregarding the value of any ppe, I did not intend for it to be taken that way. My bad. It’s not going to eliminate the hazard.
A lot of folks can’t afford the Wiley x prescriptions, if you can great. If not buy the best you can afford, understand the risks, exercise caution.
I’ve been fortunate , worst thing I had happen besides my arms not being long enough to read this phone, happened when I was 17. I was pulling the tractor under the bulk barn and had a wasp fly between my sunglasses and eye. Lil turd stung me on my eye lid. It swollen shut and hurt like hell at the time but looking back could have been worse.

In a nutshell, your brain needs time to adjust to the new intraocular lens because it must relearn how to interpret visual information. It's not something that happens overnight...ask me how I know. I can share this with you...it can be frustrating but in the long run you will be happy with the results.
