I had cataract surgery on my right eye a few months ago back in California. I chose the "PanOptix" procedure, which is a relatively recent option. It offers the hope of correcting both near and far vision with one lens. I would say everything went according to plan except for the drive to the surgery center where I was stopped for speeding (was able to surprisingly talk my way out of a ticket) and then unwittingly run a red light because I had bad directions to the center and was concerned about being late.
The vision improvement is very noticeable and I am planning on doing my left eye when it is convenient.
Glad to hear your story Rob and that it worked out so well.

At least you were apparently still able to drive and walk around on your own. I wasn't.

My vision seems perfect both near and far. I can see individual pixels on my computer screen, something I needed glasses for before. The only hitch is my eyes haven't been accustomed to focusing for so long that they seem a bit weak and slow to respond sometimes. I tried using my old prescription glasses for reading up close, and they help me for up close reading, but I don't need them for working on my computer like I used to. Every day I marvel at the bright colors and clean lines I haven't seen for so long. And of course, I can see across my beautiful bay again!

Suerte y saludos.
