One problem with multiple lens in each eyes is sun glint during the sunny
days and LED lights in dark rooms. After five years my mind is only
partially reducing that effect. Any bright spot on DTV with a black
background will have a halo.

I do NOT drive at night and do not recommend any one with multiple lens in
each eye to do so.

The 4th of July Fireworks is interesting, each spot of light is a little
Saturn with rings. All of them at once.

One thing about cataract sugary, do not delay it. Your eyesight may get
worse at an increasing faster rate, I was almost blind even with one good
eye as the old eye was so bad.

Thanks. I'm 68 solar revolutions old, so that's a real possibility.
No sign of cataracts, but I'm borderline with glaucoma.

High pressure, drops, no damage yet? Likewise. The main reason I had my
cataracts done was to get rid of the astigmatism (which glasses were never
able to fully correct and which made contacts very nearly useless), and it
worked really well!

Some of my
friends have had cataract surgery and opted for strange combinations,
such as one eye optimized for close work, and the other for distant
and driving. They all say that it can be quite functional.

I wouldn't dream of having permanent monovision (one eye for distance, one
for near), but I have contacts like that. The brain deals with it --
mostly -- but there's a certain amount of ghosting unless the light is
really bright. My daughter doesn't even notice that with hers.

Nobody
mentioned color, but I'll ask.

Cataracts turn the lens yellow. I was really surprised to see the
difference in color between the two eyes. (I waited months to have the
second eye done -- I wanted to be SURE!) The brain makes everything work
together (my ski goggles are yellow, but within a minute or so the snow is
all white again; when I take the goggles off the snow is slightly blue
for a while), so it's not a real problem -- just interesting.
