) or a “local reviewer” named “4eyes” with 61 five star reviews for local physicians … Look at me…look at me… well you get it.
That's a good idea! I found over a dozen pairs of old eyeglasses when moving and donated them at my optometrist office.If you don't sell or trade your old glasses, you might consider donating them to a local Lions Club. They will provide them to people in poor or developing countries.

My ophthalmologist explained the various types of implants to me, including the one you mention, of one lens implant for distance and the other for close vision. He mentioned that our vision has two parts; the eyes and the brain. And the brain will adapt to having two eyes with different focal distances, so soon you're not aware of having two different lenses.
Good luck going forward. All I can envision at the moment is pictures of Carmen Basilio after some of his fights with eyebrows, eyelids and cheeks stitched up trying to smile or in some cases wondering where he was at the moment. Damn!!…that must be irritating….hope it improves for you.

️️️️ for you sir!
As I had said in my previous post on this thread ,I still see pretty good at distance , but the night time driving is starting to get me with those bright headlights . I think it's time . Got my annual eye appointment next week , will talk about the options , most likely I'll just go the regular distance thing . My sister just had both eyes done last month , she went the whole works , I think it was around $2500 more per eye above what her medicare ,and supplemental would cover .I would start your journey sooner than later. Cataracts never get “better” on their own and deciding what to do and when is part of the process. The interweb is a great place to start for the most optimal results. Lots of real time professional information available.
I would shy away from the personal reviews people leave on websites. Not that anyone would embellish their written word experiences, somehow mentally hoping for a finders fee at Christmas(
It’s all about you, and what need, want, and deserve. Good Luck!
??? I actually feel I have more clarity at night than in bright sun currently. Less stimulie maybe?
Working out fine so far. I’ve only encountered a slight issue getting used to the readers and where I’ve last left them
Mid week I did a 350 mile boat delivery outbound at 1 AM with no night vision issues up to and through the dawn period, to and through a fairly large metro area with no flashing or tired eye syndrome. When I did arrive I did have slight incidence of watery eyes using the readers for the paperwork so there’s that. Big test will be later this week on a 1600 mile r/t delivery to the great NE, snow storm permitting, for the last one of the year.
Kind of anticipating the opportunity of driving in the snow and heavy rain. I’ve always used my sunglasses (polarized) in bad weather dating back to the 70’s as the definition is so much better and less tiresome on the eyes, and you can see further into the distance. I do have to remember though to get to the DMV sometime and see about getting the eye restriction/glasses needed eliminated from the license. Here you have to visit the local road gendarmes and prove it, no note from your Dr. YMMV.
I am going to need cataract surgery in the next year or two. Here's my take so far when speaking with my OD.I’ve only encountered a slight issue getting used to the readers and where I’ve last left them
I’ve been using readers for nearly 25 years or so , I’m used to looking for them at times .
I usually have them hooked to my shirt . Those clickits are pretty handy , I’ve got an old pair that are not quite strong enough anymore. Only problem with those is you really can’t lay in bed , and read with them . The frame of them pushes them away laying on them . I keep thinking to get a lanyard or whatever you call them , and let them hang off my neck , but I just never seem to get around to it . Doesn’t seem to be a priority. It’s more fun hunting for them . 
I ended up buying a 5 pack of 1.0x readers on Amazon. I have usually bought reading glasses at Costco, but they only go down in optics to 1.25x. I was happy with the Amazon purchase and bought two more packs which gave me 15 readers so I have a pair stashed everywhere I sit down.
Brian, if there's a PCLI office near you, check into them for the procedure. I can't say enough good about their services. (Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute)
