Please let us know the results of your second opinion. I have a bad astigmatism, plus I need double cataract surgery. Previous lasix surgery a few years ago pretty much ruined a lot of vision in my right eye because they removed too much tissue. I also would like NOT to wear reading glasses and am wondering about the implants to achieve that. I am anxious to hear what you find out.
