Trouble is by the time you really need cataract surgery might be the same point they can’t correct your sight without actually having the cataract surgery. I had to have cataract surgery because that was the option or be blind to some extent (not an option if you want a driver’s license). So I suggested trying it out but that might not be possible for you.
I do think the hardest part of the entire process is making the decision on what type of lenses you want.
There are so many factors involved. I was extremely near sighted and monovision worked great for me. I think that was a factor.
Just do some research and ask all your questions BEFORE you get the surgery! Nothing is ever perfect of course but better to be sure before you go through the surgery.
