Found out yesterday I have cataracts in both eyes

Sorry to hear that Red Cherry, I am wondering what cataracts is though, I have no idea!

I would really appreciate a discription of what it is since I have always had 20/20 eye site but within the last couple of years my eyesite has been steadily declining to the subtitles on the TV being a bit blurred now, I have a pair of reading glasses now, but my problem isn't with reading, it is in seeing things from afar, and the people who do the testing at the place where I get my glasses keep telling me I need reading glasses, I don't really get why I need reading glasses when I cant see the white board from the backrow of a classroom (I could see the very same white board from the same distance a few years ago)

Thanks
