[Leica] OT: Thoughts on cataract surgery?

[Dennis Kushner]

I had mine done a month ago 1 week apart. I had progressive glasses
set for close up, computer distance & distance. As everyones eyes different
there are options. With me I went for close up lenses in both eyes for
critical
focusing of all my manual lenses  on digital bodies & reading.  My distance
vision improved for distance & will still need glasses for that but still
legal to
drive without them. Lucked out there as vision perfect & colors much
brighter.
My doc gave me reason for week apart to see if I liked results.
