I need cataract surgery on my right eye, the left one is fine. I'm 65 and always been shortsighted.
There are two options. One is to match the prescription to the left eye, the other is to go for perfect distance vision in the right eye.
The second option sounds best, particularly as the left eye will need doing eventually and then I'll have two perfect eyes (but by then the rest of me will probably be stuffed).
However my close up vision is now perfect without glasses, when I'm trying to measure and mark something accurately I take my multifocals off or look over them, so I'd lose that I assume anyway, I didn't think to ask.
I wondered if you guys had any thoughts.
