The important thing is to take your time over recovery - don't be tempted to take off the patch and definitely don't rub the eye for several weeks. Mine not only got rid of the cataracts but used implants that corrected my extreme short sight. That sword had tow edges, though, because I now need magnifying glasses to do the closeup work with tiny parts that is part of my modelmaking hobby.
Cheers, John

I had the same procedure on both eyes for cataracts a couple of years ago. While I also do close modeling work with small parts I find that Dollar Store reading glasses work well for me and beat the heck out of the "coke bottle" glasses I wore for most of my life.
For Sorinut - In my case it was really worth it, my corrected vision is now 20/40 in my worst eye vs the 20/OMG!!! in my best eye 3 years ago. I couldn't focus on anything more than 8 or 9 inches from the end of my nose.
It's worth the short term minor discomfort.
