10 ring, I had cataract removed and replaced with a implant combined with a gas bubble inserted into the same eyeball to put a retina back into place during the surgery. The gas bubble did collect and remove most of the floaters as a benefit.
I endured a no recoil order for several weeks. It was important to be sure the gas bubble was reabsorbed and retina/ccataract implant healed before I was allowed to fly or shoot.
I think with the whole experience, the no shoot order was the worst of all, the waiting.
I finished a shoot last week about 2 months after and I have not detected any problems. However, certain activities are now banned due to potential for shaking as with heavy equiptment etc. The chance of damage is too great.
We had a client who had a similar surgery on one eye and disobeyed a no labor order and tried to lift a 40 pound box. The pressure on the eyballs split her vision pernamently and badly. All that money invested wasted and a life time of choosing which eye to decide and no driving. What a waste.
We have another person who had cataracts replaced on BOTH eyes and is enjoying a new life but cannot do the things he did prior to surgery and is limited in his work.
Even that is better than not being able to see at all.
What was crazy was I used a Weaver on my handgun to shift over to the dominant Left eye to qualifiy for the CCW with 19 of 20 on paper (16 minimum at 7 yards) Even then the availible field of vision was really bad. I went to surgery the following week and got it fixed.
All I can say is if you lose the use of something, you can relearn with what is left of your abilities. I would hate to lose that eye because I would have to exchange my shotgun for a left hand model and learn to shoot left handed. Or just go with the handgun alone.
