Had cadillac surgery on right eye, went from 20/100 with glasses and cadillacs to 20/20 with glasses. Was 20/30 without glasses since college. Left eye seems to be hovering at 20/50 with glasses so doc is waiting on it.

A little different than just age. Stepped on a roofing nail (new) and got a MRSA infection. It affected my blood veins causing lots of problems including retinopathy. Retinopathy is where the blood vein walls get thinner, the veins swell and leak in your retina. The leaking causes new vein growth that covers the retina and makes vision wavey. The leaking also promotes cataract growth which is more noticeable than the retina swelling and hemorrhage. The eye I had the cataract surgery on is very clear now and only has some limited hemorrhaging ie floaters that are very annoying. Get shots in the eyes to toughen the veins and reduce the swelling/leaking. Started with monthly shots, now done to about every 4-6 months.
