Eric Krewson:
This may seem trivial but I am so excited I am on cloud nine!

I have built 5 flintlock and 2 percussion rifles; I don't know how well they will shoot because I have never been able to see the sights well enough to align them properly. I have killed plenty of deer with these rifles and shotguns but had to use a peep sight, fiber optics and a white painted front sight to get on target, even then it was bit of a guess.

I had cataract surgery on both eyes, I had the right eye done yesterday and had to check today to see if I could finally see the sights on my rifles.  I CAN!

The pictures are my best representation of what I saw before my surgery and after.

Pat B:
My wife had cataract surgery a year or so ago and was amazed at the change and improvement in her vision.   :OK

sleek:
What an exciting life changing event for you Eric! Those deer better lay low, you just got even more lethal out there!

PaulN/KS:
Congratulations Eric. Glad it went well for you.  :OK
I have heard this result from others.

PaSteve:
That's great news, Eric. Best of luck this year if you get a chance to hunt with your flintlock.
