Odd, my best friend has had the cataract surgery - he had severe astigmatism
along with the myopia - and requires only reading glasses. Apparently, then,
his warped vision was caused by the lenses which were all that he is aware of
being replaced on his Medicare deal. He did have to go back about a year
post-op and have the ophthalmologist zap the deal with a laser as the fluid or
something was getting cloudy ... which they had told him might happen.
