[Leica] OT: Thoughts on cataract surgery?

[Don Dory]

I did it one eye at a time as your vision is affected for some period of
time.   If your home situation allows care and relative blindness the both
eyes are fine.

I chose infinity for both eyes as in effect I could drive with non
prescription sunglass(it's bright in Texas).  Your three dimensional vision
will be impaired if you focus each eye differently.  The camera eyepiece
can be adjusted to your new vision either internally or with an accessory
eyepiece.

While your new lenses are mostly permanent your vision will change slightly
over time so continued use of glasses for great vision may be indicated.
 With my choice I wear glasses as a matter of course; the prescription is
modest so the weight is negligible.
