What cataract symptoms did you have?

And how soon did your second eye get affected. 

Mine are distorted vision that cannot be corrected. Both near and far. It is as if I am not wearing glasses. 

Also I see 3 lights for far away lights. I see rainbow halos around the street lights at night that disappear.

    Something worth noting

    In layman's language a cataract operation is a large poke in the eye with a sharp object and a slapping around as well.

    The eye responds with a certain amount of swelling

    It also reacts by clouding the cornea

    This causes distorted vision often as bad as the early stages of the cataract.

    This WILL heal but it may take WEEKS

    Mine did.

    Im fine now but the problem doesnt start until a day or two after the op. Which can be rather scary if you don't know.
