I think this was placed in the wrong place. I've had cataract surgery in both eyes.
I do wonder one eye? They both are in the same head, same age, same body health, same genes etc. I had always thought near vision distance vision was due to lens shape. Actually there is also differences in the shape of the eyeball and retina issues.
Ability to see in dim light also deteriorates as we age.
I do recall a follow up visit the evening after the surgery. Typical inquiry how many fingers do you see. Truth, and my reply, I only see shapes, you ask how many fingers so I assume that is your arm. I am thrilled with the results far better than it was.
I would get another opinion. I think I would consider the Mayo clinic. You do not want a doctor where they know each other. A second opinion. Years ago I had a doctor offended that I did not go to the person he recommended for a second opinion. Doctors are human. A second opinion, they will recommend someone they know or know of that shares their view.
