I am interested to hear how it goes because cataract surgery is in the future for me as well. My eye doctor says in his opinion it happens to everyone- just at a different age. And some die earlier He says the earliest he has seen are under 40. Right now all is fine and it progresses slowly (I wear the same strength of glasses now for 7 or 8 years- that was when I got the ones with - how do you say- sliding vision )I am sure that's NOT how to say it).
As I am scared by hospitals I wish you all the best. I am sure they know what they are doing though.
