[SML] Cataract Lens selection

[John Taylor]

I had heard about glare from early Lasik but had not heard about it with 
cataract surgery. I am suppose to have it later this week on one eye. My 
Dr told me mine would correct my distance/astigmatism and after wards we 
would look at the right eye as I have one there but it is not as severe 
as my left eye. If we do both he said I should only need reading 
glasses. Been wearing multi focal for about 40 years. Also posted on FB 
group.
