Default Cataracts

I was also very nearsighted. After my right eye was corrected for distance, My MD gave me contacts for the other eye. That actually turned out to be very useful. He gave me two different lenses: one corrected my left eye for distance and the other corrected it for computers. So I got to experiment to see whether I wanted both eyes alike or different ( also called monovision). Turned out the contact that corrected me for computers worked great. So I had him put that power lens in my left eye. My brain is able to make the adjustment for the different focal lengths of the two eyes. Now, for the first time in 50 years, I don't need glasses.
