Yes. My accommodation (near vision) in my left eye was virtually destroyed. Although 86, I'd never needed reading glasses, I will now have to be fitted (no bifocals, thank goodness). My near vision was damaged also, but it was not nearly to the degree as near. Nevertheless, I will have to have a totally new script, even for distance. I'm grateful I didn't have the problems you had. My treatment was proton at MD Anderson, although I've been to Mayo, Rochester, for another condition...
