With the other thread about age of giving up contact lenses, I thought of something regarding cataracts.
At some time in the future, I will likely need cataract surgery. Not right now. One thing that bothers me about the internal lens is that my distance vision has been constantly getting better. Over the years, my correction has dropped from ~ -3.5 to now ~ -1.0. I am curious, if I continue improving, at the time I actually need the cataracts removed, I may not need inter ocular lenses at all.
Is improving eyesight as you age, a normal thing? DW's eyesight is not improving. If yes, those who continue to have eyesight improve how do you deal with a fixed cataract lens? does eyesight continue to improve? Do you then start wearing glasses again? Just curious. I'll do what is necessary, for sure.
