Thanks for the input, eventually I will have to overcome my fears or stop driving.
Hey Chief. I had separate cataract surgeries done and I'm young. First was in my 40's, second in my very early 50's and as cover2 said, it's an extremely easy procedure and is amazing once you get done. Everything is so much more vivid in color and no more halo's at night and all the other aggravating issues with cataracts.
The procedure now is very non-invasive and takes the doctor around 15 minutes. Really the only concern that you have is infection and as long as you use the drops they give you, there's no worry.
You'll have a fixed focal length with the new lens but adjusting to it is easy and seeing normally is the huge bonus!
I lost sight in my left eye due to a retinal tear operation so I know your concerns with any eye operation. I was nervous with having this done with my good eye but had no issues at all.
