Comes on super fast. Changed my day to
Day life dramatically within a few weeks. No driving. Getting hard to maneuver around my own home. People look like cardboard cutouts in front of windows. Hard to understand what people are saying because I can’t see their faces. Never knew how much I relied on seeing expressions and lips moving to understand what people are saying to me.

Not to say that all cataracts are not awful.

And yes same surgery for all cataracts. Can’t wait! 5 weeks!

Thanks for all your replies. Appreciate it so much.
