Good morning FL Mary, Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm happy to hear that it has helped you. I'm happy I had cataract surgery done for both eyes. The only problem I've had since the surgery is my eyes seem to be a little more sensitive to light and seem to be watery a lot more than before. Some of this I'm sure is related to my CPAP mask leaking air around the eyes. I also notice a few floaters once in awhile. I have to wear reading glasses for the computer and reading. Funny thing happened a few days ago. I saw what I thought was a floater moving around on my left eye and blinking couldn't make it go away. I pulled my glasses off and rubbed my eye a little and was going to put some eye drops in then I looked closely at my glasses and saw the tiniest ant moving around on the frame and lense. Gave me a good laugh to start my day.

Hi , I never had light sensitivity or watery eyes after both my cataract surgeries. But when I was driving at night I could see half halos over street lights and oncoming cars only on my left eye. . I don’t drive at night anymore but as a passenger I still see that but can squint it away.
My doctor told me to wear sunglasses outside always to protect my vision. I do find it uncomfortable at times if I neglect to do that and the sun is out full force.
That’s funny about the ant. I have often seen insects flying around that I thought were floaters, or floaters that were insects lol. Lots of bugs here in Florida. On occasion I have though that a big floater to the edge of my eye was a person and it scared the heck out of me if I was home and knew there was no one else here. Generally I don’t notice floaters ….much like I don’t notice the tinnitus in my left ear. Thankfully nothing life threatening….maybe to the flying insects but not to me.
