I have had both eyes done and it was amazing the difference it made, especially after the first one, and then to be able to make comparisons between each eye.
The problem with cataracts is the gradual change in eye functionality. This then allows the brain to compensate for the change and for you not to notice how bad your eyes have become. As a diabetic I have my eyes checked every 6 months and it was easy for my opthalmologist to see the cataracts forming. Most people, unfortunately, only see Drs when something is noticeably wrong.

I think one reason I haven't noticed the deterioration is because some seven years ago I switched from $20 to $30 chemist sunglasses to heavily discounted, formerly very expensive designer sunglasses that cost me $35 to $40. I don't know what effect is at play, but colour and contrast is greatly enhanced in the more expensive pairs for me, and I wear them all the time outside.
