I am your age and have cateracts. I am sewing while I can till I can have surgery. I don't have insurance so not sure when that will be. BUT....I enjoy quilting and sewing for now. Hubby put a shop light up attached to the cieling of my sewing room and I have a floor ott light sitting next to my little cutting table. I have one of those plastic shelves on wheels with the 4 drawers sitting next to my chair so I can swivel around and do any pressing or cutting I need to do. My cut and press mat fits just perfect on the top of the drawers and with it on wheels i can scoot it to me or away when I go back to the sewing machine. With the ott lamp next to the drawers and with the shop light from the ceiling I can see pretty well to sew for now.
