I’ll repeat the information that I gave on the last cataract thread, since no one has said it yet:
You have a choice of where you want your vision to be best. Most people choose to have excellent long-range vision, and to wear reading glasses.
I chose the opposite. I now read without glasses and have two pairs of glasses-—one for the computer and one for distance. You can apparently choose anywhere in between, but I can’t see the point of choosing in the middle unles you spend every waking moment at the computer.
I was told that if your doctor recommends the surgery, have it right away, because the longer you wait, the harder it is to remove the lens and that could cause complications.
Good luck and don’t be nervous. It is a short, painless procedure. The worst parts are the anxiety and one set of eyedrops that burns quite a bit right before the surgery. I think they were the antibiotic eyedrops but not sure. And that goes away very soon. Prayers for an excellent outcome.
FYI - there is a third option, lens implants that include little focal mechanisms that are operated by the muscles of the eye, much like real natural eye focusing.
