I’m really on the fence about pursuing RLP. My mid vision is good, far vision is nothing like when I was young and glasses are needed to identify faces etc that are 100 yards away give or take, so it could be better but it’s not horrible. My near vision is the what really gets me.
Those with bifocals will understand the issues trying to tilt your head to find the sweet spot while shooting, working with your hands on anything up close, or reading things that are fixed so that you cannot move it into a good angle. The biggest reason though is I’m tired of wearing glasses. Constantly cleaning lenses, bending frames to keep them fitting properly so you’re not always reaching up and readjusting. It’s a constant battle. One that I’m tired of fighting.
Another positive is not having to worry about cataracts. Which I’m sure is coming, everyone in my immediate family has had cataract surgery in 60s. I just have a fear of something going wrong leaving me worse than I am now.
Pick a good Doctor, I prefer Duke Eye center, and go have a consult. Ask questions and and ask about options.
