The reason cataracts
I had both done just over a year ago.
Very pleased with the result - my distance vision is better than it ever has been, as the lenses they put in correct for my short sightedness.
So I only need glasses for close work really.
The thought of it is worse that the reality!
Actual op only takes a few minutes, its the eye drops and waiting beforehand that takes the time (about half a day).
Uncomfortable/stinging eyes for a day or two. Just need to be careful for a few weeks then fine.
You won't have the only problem I haven't solved - that's putting on eye make up!
