I had 20/40 vision before cataract surgery in August 2014. I just had my eyes examined last Wednesday. I have 20/20 in my left eye, I could read the bottom line on the wall. My right eye was 20/25, together they are pretty good.

One reason they recheck your eyes is after about 2 years to 3 years following surgery there is a cloudiness that can happen and you're return to the vision you had before. A simple laser shot will clear the lens up. My eyes checked out OK, but I have a half brother who had to get the laser. I also got the distant vision lens, so I still use glasses to read. I will wear my distant glasses when driving at night, but that's about all.
