I just had Cataracts removed on both eyes about a week ago. My vision like yours suddenly got fuzzy and blurry, so I had to have them removed. I got the Toric lenses because I have astigmatism, so I would be less reliant on glasses, or so they told me. I had Lasik about 20 years ago and since then have not needed spectacles, so I did not want to have to return to wearing glasses. My vision after the surgery is not quite as sharp as before, but it is brighter, but they say you need at least a month for your eyes to stabilize. In a month or two I will see how my vision is, and I will either get some cheap glasses or have a Lasik touch up if needed.
Everybody eventually gets Cataracts if you live long enough, and it is probably the most common surgery in the world, with 60,000 performed every day, so you are not alone. I paid out of pocket $1800 for the Toric lens upgrade, but it is no guarantee you will not need glasses, so you might be better off just getting the regular monofocal lenses that the insurance pays for and then plan on getting glasses or a Lasik tuneup later on. Cataract surgery is more involved than some people think, and it involves a LOT of eye drops! If you had Lasik in the past like I have, it is harder for the surgeon to get the correct prescription for your IOC lenses because Lasik reshapes the Cornea.
There are tons of different IOC lenses to choose from, so just tell your doctor what kind of vision you would like after the surgery, and then he will recommend a lens for you. It doesn't do any good to put off Cataract surgery because they will just get worse and quickly, and you will eventually go blind. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world. Since I am up on it pretty good because I just had Cataract surgery, if you have any questions, just let me know. Of course, the Internet is full of information on Cataracts, but I can share my experience with you.
