visual distortions after cataract surgery with macular puckers

I'm wondering if my visual distortion will improve. I've had macular puckers for more than 20 years without visual distortions. Now I had cataract surgery in one eye, and have distortions reading, paying bills etc. Will my brain learn to ignore the distortions? I'm hesitant about having surgery in my other eye, which also has macular puckers, but I can read with that eye, without distortions. I'd like to hear other people's experience with this issue. I thought cataract surgery would be a walk in the park, I didn't know I'd be walking in Jurassic Park. many thanks
