There is a night/day difference pre and post cataract surgery. Jeff, your outcome was simpler than mine. I am very nearsighted, but the surgery was such a big improvement, I no longer need to have glasses when I read or do computer work. I do have 2 pairs, one for normal/everyday use and another pair for closer work. I have an art hobby and the closer pair works better for me.

It is not a 100% cure all. I see my eye doctor and retina doctor annually, 6 months apart. I had a torn retina in my right eye 6 months after my cataract surgery and that needs monitoring because it could happen again. Sometimes scare tissue can weep into the eye that can cause blurred vision. This can require a "clean-up" with a laser. My left eye vision isn't as good as my right eye. I can see the difference, but it isn't bad enough for the clean up surgery.

Take care of your eyes.
