My doctor said one week for lawn tractors over rough ground and shooting. I think I'll wait maybe two weeks for shotgun shooting and maybe six months for lawn mowing. I've heard that some doctors recommend way more time before shooting. My vision is now 20-20 which surprised me no end. Unfortunately, because of my neuropathy, I have trouble standing and balancing, so my shooting may not improve to the 20-20 level. At age 78, my expectations are not high. I am now in the final stages of eye drops.
