Had cataract surgeries about 18 months back at age 75. It was brought on by the fact that I was not seeing ground squirrels off in the distance when shooting in our alfalfa fields. Tuned both eyes up for distance, so I use glasses to read and tie flies. All I can say is WOW, as I had been nearsighted since my early teens. Now I can count the wires on a fence a half mile away without glasses.
An aside: Before the surgery and when using peeps, there appeared to be some distracting dirt or fiber therein. Post-surgery, that has gone away. What I was seeing were the cataract elements within my eyes.
An out-patient deal with the prep time taking longer than the surgery itself. Took about 3 days for the first eye to really clear up. The second was much improved an hour after the procedure. Time involved was a visit the day before, another the day after, one a week later, and the final a month out which was an exam to see if any correction/glasses might be needed.
Given my vision corrections, I wish I'd had it done as a teenager. Colors also appear a bit brighter.
Get er done,
