Cataracts
Although not in TV I had my cataracts removed 3 years ago.
It was so bad that my buddies would have to follow the golf ball for me cause after about 125 yards I lost sight of the ball. I wore prescription sunglasses but my distance sight wasn't too bad. (well before my cataracts got so bad)
I too had astigmatism in both of my eyes and it cost me $500 per eye to correct it when the cataracts were removed.
Any way at no extra charge the Dr made it so in one eye I can see the computer perfectly and can read most fine print ( if there is adequate light) Otherwise I use 150 cheaters. The other eye was corrected slightly for distance.
I can now see the golf ball way down the fairway.
Working the computer is now great and I use cheaters occasionally.
I think my vision now is 20/30 without glasses
My wife was chicken to watch the procedure, but after my good experience she had it done. She has terrible eyes and he corrected her as well, but that cost us. I was able to watch her procedure; it's quite amazing. Not sure what the magnification was but it was very clear.
Good luck!!
