And, one of my sisters is going to have cataract surgery, too! YAY! We both wore contact lenses for many years, but I was the first to head for better, easier vision. Of course, I need reading glasses, but I love opening my eyes in the morning and being able to see the clock without fumbling for my glasses!
I’ve been telling people that the reason they do one eye at a time is not merely because there is a slight but possible chance of complication to the surgery, but mainly because with one eye corrected, and one eye left alone, you have a chance to really compare, over days or weeks, the true difference in vision you are getting.
That alone would be worth doing, but you wouldn’t know it without being exposed to it in this manner.
