I am looking at cataract surgery for one eye. I am highly myopic in both eyes. The eye will be corrected, hopefully, to about 20/40 and maybe better. That means I will have one eye that is pretty good and the other eye will be very myopic ( about 5 diopters worth.)
They are recommending I get the other eye done since 1.) it has a small cataract presently - though it doesn't really bother me at the present time and 2.) they seem to think the difference between the eyes will be bothersome in daily life.
Has anybody had this situation where cataract surgery 'cures' one near-sighted eye but the other stays very near-sighted?
How did that work for you?
