I don’t want to digress this thread but maybe you can talk about it in this thread about cataracts I had my surgery over a year ago. I’ve had trouble adjusting to reading glasses. I tried 2.5x and then 2.75x that I use now. It takes more effort to read. Books make my eyes tired. I use drops for dry eye. I’ll read a couple hours and then take a break. I’m due for a simple procedure to remove a protein film off my implant lens. Overaĺl I’m very pleased with my cataract surgery and lenses. It’s wonderful being able to read the menus on my TV apps. I was lost before my surgery. I couldn’t read any text on my tv. I have a 42" screen. I was in the hospital late august and there was a 32" in my room. I had to really concentrate to read text on the screen. I strongly recommend buying a 42" or larger. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cataracts/1009588)._
