I have had incredible nearsightism since birth, and wore heavy glasses (glass not plastic) from the age of seven. 50 years later, I was told I had a cataract in one eye and it was apparently a fast mover, by the time I got to the operation a month later it was a serious piece of work. I was never bothered by color, though.<br />And when I was coming home, I was stunned by the fact that I could see, dammit. no glasses. <br />I read every sign between here and there. <br />The next one was a year later, and I only use glasses for close work, like reading very fine type, and splinters. <br /><br />You might be able to get by, as I do, with readers from the store. For 25 bucks, I'm good to go until I sit on them or the lens falls out.mittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04878611591683283429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-20822328690316137862019-08-12T02:20:09.854-07:002019-08-12T02:20:09.854-07:00I wouldn't be thinking of a future with catara...I wouldn't be thinking of a future with cataracts, I'd be hoping I never get them at all.

When I first looked, one eye saw white snow and one saw yellow. The weather was so bad some other soul cancelled and I got the other eye done a week later. And new glasses ordered the same day.

I did not realize how difficult it was after the surgery.
