    What a difference without cataracts

    There are different types of multifocal IOL's. I am not a huge fan of most diffractive IOL's. While some people have good outcomes, not all do and you can still need glasses to see well. There is a new type of IOL out called Extended Depth of Focus. It is early days yet but so far I have been...

    What a difference without cataracts

    As you might be able to discern from my moniker, I am an optometrist. To answer your question, if you have Medicare and a supplement, cataract surgery is covered 100% (minus your annual deductible). It must be medically necessary in other words, just the presence of a cataract doesn't mean it...

    Can anyone identify this gun?

    My deceased BIL's estate is selling this air rifle and I was wondering if anyone knew what it was. There are no markings on it.

    Fx Carbon Fiber Sleeve Problems

    I thought my CF sleeve was too long until I realized that one of the three o-rings on the barrel got left in shroud preventing the sleeve from going all the way in. Duh.

    Another scope recommendation with a twist

    You should look into the Arken SH-4 gen II. I have the EP -4 and it is fantastic. Arken is blowing up the internet with how good the scopes are for the money. The 34mm tubes have more travel if you ever want to really stretch out the distance. The 6-24 is $450 and the 4-16 is $400. My Arken is...

    Tuning Fx carbon fibre sleeve- to glue or not to glue?

    Earnest Rowe is using a 2 part epoxy (what ever you use it has to be able to cure without air) but Ken Hicks from SPAW was shooting at RMAC with a liner that was not "glued". I just installed mine on my Maverick .25 700mm heavy liner without glue. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet so don't...

    Confused

    With my .25 Maverick, reducing the ES is ALL about the tune. With the factory tune, the spreads were terrible. The regs were too high for all slugs and pellets. Plus the factory gauge was so small, I wasn't really sure where the regs actually were. A new Wika gauge helped the tuning process...

    Highest Ballistic Coefficient air gun Slug ?????

    I need to make a correction. You can have the Altaros slugs shipped here. It is just expensive. My frugal (i.e. cheap) brain was telling me it wasn't possible. I might have to break down and order some.
