[Leica] Cataract Surgery advise/recommendations

[JAMES HANDSFIELD]

I had cataract surgery yesterday (right eye) with left I to follow in two weeks.  I selected the variable lenses which, if all goes according to plan, will render glasses unnecessary except for sunglasses (nonprescription).

I like the results so far.  Lots more vibrance in the colors and tones even though my vision is still a little blurry in my right eye.
