Have you been thoroughly checked? Like for cataracts or other things?

I had cataracts surgery in both eyes and went from driving with corrective lenses to 20/20 and no more glasses requirement when driving.

Had cataract surgery last year and now have posterior capsular opacification where loose cells from the surgery are clouding my news lens, and macular edema in the same eye. Paid extra for laser surgery to make opening the eye easier to insert the new lens and this is what I ended up with. Now far sighted in both eyes; however, wear glasses most of the time because I read, I write, I have to spend most of my time doing close up things which require the glasses I was hoping to spend the majority of my life without. Be careful what you wish for. Though I love being able to walk in the park or drive without glasses it has made me wonder about my choice regarding choosing lenses which require me to wear glasses most of my daylight hours,
