Subject: Re: "Both sides do it"
I got cataract surgery around 6 years ago. I had no idea how dingy my visions had become and was stunned by all the colors. I'm not a candidate for progressives, but like it just fine. If I blink as few times I can see text fuzzily with my 3.5 eyeglasses, but I can't really read wiithout them. As long as I can see to drive and can read the signs I'm happy. I get glasses at 4 for $15 so plenty of spares.

Before the cataract surgery the vision test for driving limited me to driving during the day. The cataract lenses give starry lines radiating out from lights, which I adjusted to. As long as I can drive, walk around, and read I'm content.
