I had cataract surgery done about 4 years ago. As someone who has had to wear glasses since they were 14 with lenses that were just short of making me legally blind in my left eye I can't tell you how much of a relief it is not to have to wear them while riding or driving. The only thing I need are a cheap pair of reading glasses and I can ride with a regular pair of polarized sunglasses without having to worry about being blindsided. It also made riding in the rain so much easier and safer as well.
