I had cataracts and surgery at the precocious age of 43, from an eye surgeon in Bryan/College Station. Post surgery, my vision was greatly improved and my hunting/rifle shooting was normal.

Hunting/shooting aside, I would share something about the risks (which, of course, you sign away in that one inch thick stack of paper prior to surgery). I am one of the rare cases where something can go wrong. In my case, one of my lens implants got loose and went crashing around inside my eyeball, causing bleeding. I experienced this as getting cloudy vision, but the serious impact was that it "clogged the drain", leading to a build-up of pressure -- essentially induced glaucoma. After having the problem fixed (by a top Houston eye surgeon -- for the same dang copay as a local yokel), I am now ok except for having to take glaucoma drops forever. Also, since I have neither an implant nor a natural tissue lens in that eye, I have to wear a contact lens.

Non-Rocket-Science Moral to the story -- don't just settle for one opinion, and take advantage of the best doctors that you can. Doesn't sound like that's in issue in the OP's situation.
