I had my right cataract removed end of February 2017. Left one isn't ready yet. Doctor made it a little far sighted to work with the left one. I don't mind wearing glasses, have worn them about twenty years. He had to weaken the left one as it was over powering the right eye. Glasses are now perfect and I can see much better at night. I drive a pick up and that helps too. My Husband had his removed 20 some odd years ago. He has dry eye real bad in one eye and uses Theratears drops, best ones he has found. He needs glasses more now that he is getting older. Doctor doesn't think so. We have different doctors.
