Ron, I had cataract surgery several months ago and kicked myself for not having it sooner!! I couldn't believe the difference it made. I'd forgotten what good vision is. At night, many times I couldn't even see the lines on the roads if they were faded very much, even with my glasses. So I basically quit driving at night. Now I can see them even without my (different) pair of glasses. Which I rarely even use anymore. Mainly for very small print on a webpage on my iPhone sometimes. I hope it works as well for you as it did for me.
