I found the same as you, goldcrest. Cataracts were a breeze. I still have to wear glasses, but everything is so much more clearly defined.

that's great, I must admit its not something I want done, once I found out you had to be awake for that operation, I thought, no won't be able to do that.

glad your vision is much improved.
