Cataracts: What can I expect? How to prepare?

I had cataract surgery in both eyes last year, about 6 weeks apart. It was really smooth and quick. I had two different lenses put in: a Panoptix Multifocal lens in the left eye, and a Vivity Extended Range of Focus lens in the right eye. I did this after doing a lot of research on the two different lenses. (There are a number of YouTube videos by reputable Ophthalmologists about this.)

My recovery was easy-peasy. My vision after the surgery was absolutely AMAZING for awhile. After about month or so I developed bad floaters in one eye and then in the other. So, fast forward one year - I just had my first vitrectomy and 9 days out I am doing really well. Fingers crossed.

Did you have YAG procedure during the process? They sometimes increase the incidence of floaters.
