Cataract and Rimfire Scopes

[Garv]

I have a cataract starting up in my shooting eye.

I see three red dots on my TRS-25 at about 15 yards so need to try something different.

I have an M&P 15-22 that I shoot at Angeles Range at ~100 yards and will go indoors at times to 25 yards or so.

I did some Google-Fu and saw the most love for the Nikon Prostaff Rimfire in my $100 or so price range.
Also some thumbs up for BSA Sweet, Simmons and Bushnell.
3x9-40 seemed popular.

Comments/Suggestions for scope?

If anyone here has had to deal with cataracts, what did you do to keep your shooting going?

Thanks.

Surgery. Optical corrections, whether it's corrective glasses or the scope on a rifle is going to help cataract because the lens of your eye is 'cloudy'.

It is not bad enough yet for insurance to cover, might take a few more years.
it has already been done on my other eye so I know what I am in for.
Thanks.

I developed cataract in only one (my dominant) eye back in 2002 and had surgery for it back then.

I don't remember having to justify it with the insurance company, though. What's the criteria for it being severe enough?

20/50 corrected last time.
Depends on insurance probably.
I can wait for a while longer for someone to cut into my eyes again.
