[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3506457, member: 7900"] That is the way to do it. When I had my cataract surgery back in 2013, I was at the point that my optometrist could only correct my vision from 20/400 to 20/25, and he said the cataract surgery would be needed by the next year. He referred me to Southwest Eye Clinic and [URL='https://www.sweyeclinicokc.com/about-meet-the-doctors']Dr. David Mallory[/URL]. (Yes, his name is a link to a description of the doctors at Southwest Eye Clinic.) If you read his biography there, you will see that he was one of the "pioneers" in the SW United States for these surgeries. I was particular with my eyes and what I would end up with, so the consultation with Dr. Mallory was beneficial to me. I have astigmatism, so I kind of needed a special lens, but ended up with two special lenses. While Medicare took care of the surgery, I did have to spring for the lenses. Left eye is for distance and the right eye is for close-up. The right eye is clear out to about 5 to 7 feet and the left even further. However, even with such diverse focusing, the brain makes it seem like there is no blurriness at all. I do have prescription glasses; one for driving at night when I have to really be able to see street signs (which is pretty rare) and one pair for shooting. ( I do need to see the target with that right eye that only wants to focus out several feet. I do have to use reading glasses on occasion, but the print that I'm trying to read has to be pretty small. I've worn glasses ever since I was a kid. I can't even remember how old I was when I got my first pair. Now, it is a huge blessing to be able to see clearly. [/QUOTE]
