I had cataract surgery in my right eye on Oct 2 and my left is scheduled for the 16th. Surgery went well, very smooth, no problems. My distance vision in my right eye is darn near perfect. Don't even need glasses for that eye anymore. I haven't even been wearing my glasses since I got surgeried. Still pretty awkward though considering the vision in my left eye is very bad, but I expect that to get corrected from the surgery this Friday. I'll still need glasses for reading. Using the computer is still a bit challenging. I got some OTC reading glasses that make the right eye good, but not the left. Again, after surgery, the reading glasses should help with that eye as well, or I can get a prescription pair about 4 weeks after surgery. How are things on your end? -- -Andy ....
