...tens of thousands of elderly people are left struggling to see because of an NHS cost-cutting drive that relies on them dying before they can qualify for cataract surgery...this is a tragedy - cataract surgery has got to be among the easiest and dramatically successful treatments one can undergo - so precise that the doctor can set up one eye for distance vision and one for close up as each cataract is removed - real bionic man stuff.....

Or get an accommodating lens which adjusts between near and far like you natural lens did.

Waiting to see (or not see) when I will need the surgery and how available and reliable the accommodating lenses are.
