Mine were done about 6 moths ago. Before, I used reading glasses but usually drove without. Now I have glasses that should work for both, but aren't great for distance or for really close-up. An older brother had his done about the same time by different doctors in different states and says all is good. I haven't shot a gun since, so don't know what to expect. He shoots trap (shot gun of course) several times a week and often get's 50 straight. I bet you'll come out of it OK.- Bob
