Found out yesterday I have cataracts in both eyes

That was a shock. I knew my eyes were getting worse and needed new glasses, but that happens almost every year for me. I didn't know the reason this year was partly due to cataracts in both eyes, dead center. Holy shit, I'm only 44, normally people are a lot older before forming them. She could get my eyes corrected to about 20/25, I had to really squint to see that, so no surgery yet, but that will happen some time in the future.

Fortunately, it is a pretty easy procedure, and sounds like it will even correct my vision when they do it, and has very low risk of complications, so that is a big positive.

The lady at Costco where I went and got my new perscriptions filled told me pray for the fast growing. Some people their vision gets worse very slowly, and they have to live with blurry vision for a long time before their insurance will cover the surgery. Being in the industry that we are in, that sounds horrible. My eye Dr. told me she had a feeling though I might have the fast growing, since they developed so much in just the last year.

I'm getting this time special computer glasses that correct mid distance and reading to help with reading the computer. The eye Dr. said that would make a huge difference since and I can't wait to get them.

Guess this is what 18 years of living in Hawaii being blue eyed and not always wearing sunglasses gets ya. All I can say is take my advice, always wear sunglasses outdoors.
