11. I had mine done in 2021 and it was life altering.

Along with vitrectomy surgeries last year to get rid of my massive floaters I have crystal clear 20/20 vision and only need to wear readers.

Cataract surgery was like turning off the blue light filters in my eyes.

I wish you a quick and speedy recovery!
