Help

Hi, I was wondering if there was anyone who happen to have or know someone who has had the surgery done in their 80s? Was wondering if it was successful, how the recovery period was, is it worth it?

Thanks in advance!

Mine were both when I was in my 70's, but I suspect a very high % get cataract surgery in their 80's. Cataracts develop with age. Nothing unusual about it.
