Go check out the larger cities. My sister was almost legally blind in both
eyes. She went to a clinic in Milwaukee and for $700 per eye, she has 20/20
vision, the first time since she was about 6 years old.

Did you
experience this as well when the old eyes started giving out on you, or
do
I
need to go to a eye doctor?

Doesn't matter whether someone experienced it or not, go to an eye doctor,
period, if you haven't seen one lately.

Question about Eyesight?
 

I remember back in '97 when I was on Kincaid Lake in Southern Ill. with my
brother in law, Mac. I had cataracts formed in both eyes at the same time.
The insurance company wanted to wait as long as possible before the
operations in hope that I would drop dead first & spare them the expense.
Anyway, we were beating the banks as always, which were nothing but blurs to
me.

Out of consideration to Mac, I was throwing nothing but weightless,
Texas-rigged worms to increase the hope that my casts would somehow make it
back to the boat without serious snags. Mac helped a bunch by warning me
when I was aiming at trees or other hazards. It stunk, but it was still
better than no fishing at all.

BTW, cataract operations are the greatest things that ever happened. No
problems since.

I've getting at that age where I either have to hold my lure 2-feet away
from me to thread my line through a lure's eyelet, or tilt my head down and
look over the top of my glasses. Yeah, yeah, I know they make bifocals,
just fighting that last step.

But my real question is to those that have gone through or are going through
this step in life. I am also noticing I'm loosing a little depth perception
too. I'm missing targets only by a hair, but missing them none the less.
When pitching, I'm not stopping the lure quick enough, resulting in a splash
vs a wave. It's like my depth perception is off just a little. Did you
experience this as well when the old eyes started giving out on you, or do I
need to go to a eye doctor?

Craig,

Transitional bifocals are heartbreakers...they solve some problems but create
others...like some of the other guys have said. It is really scary trying to
walk down an incline, because focus and depth perception are very closely
related and both will be out when you do that. Also, you can't just turn your
eyes to look at things. Most likely whatever you want to see will be out of
focus, unless you turn your head and look through the middle of the lenses,
instead of the edge.
I have worn them for 3 or 4 years now and have just accepted the limitations. I
have single vision sun glasses, and while that is fine for just keeping the sun
out of my eyes....causes real problems trying to cast a lure, hit a golf ball,
etc.
Old eyes just suck...but sure beats not having vision for sure!
