[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 3373313, member: 385"] I am not diabetic so cannot comment on that. Vision was going bad enough that regular eye doc could not correct with eye glasses into the 20/20 or 20/15 range as he could for years. Best he could do was about 20/35. What I didn't realize was how compromised my color acuity had become. The cataracts had added a significant and growing dingy grey brown cast to my world. In early Summer 2019 I had the Symphony lens system installed in both eyes after cataract removal in both. I am not a poster child for improvement as I didn't get 20/20 in both eyes at all distances. I got great color acuity again, along with something around 20/30 or a little more vision. My regular eye doc did recently correct me into the 20/20 to 20/15 range in both eyes. Reset me back over 50 years. Whole process took me around 11 months, including the removal of the post surgery grey film. Film develops in over 50% of cataract patients over a few month post surgery. Easy, quick office procedure with a laser once it's "ripe". I think COVID-19 added a month or two to the normal time cycle. I had a good bit of astigmatism before and still have some residual that the new lens could not correct. The eye glasses take care of that. Yes, I would do it again. It's nice to see blue sky again and know that the coat I'd worn for 4 years was not black but actually dark navy. [/QUOTE]
