The left eye is just that you have a cataract so no news here

Right he may have some pacification. Which can happen even after some years of having cataract surgery. What did the the optometrist say?

Ah ok at a DESP appointment. I would double check with an optometrist for sure. There can be up to two lines of difference depending on the day. So it may still be 6/6 snellen.
