I'll be getting cataract surgery soon [View all]

Just saw my eye doctor and got new glasses. I lost my old ones and the doc said I should just stick with my current prescription till after I have cataract surgery. Appointment with the eye surgeon is in a couple weeks.

I’ve been wearing reading glasses for some time already and that doesn’t really bother me much. But driving at night or in the rain has gotten difficult. My glasses always seem dirty even after cleaning. I have a hard time with shadows and thus depth perception and the doc said the surgery ought to fix that. I have high hopes that there will be noticeable improvement, but when I talk to those who have had the surgery so of the symptoms they describe don’t really match my experience. Anyone had the surgery and gotten noticeable improvement?
