My left eye got a cataract about 12 years ago and a few months later had a cataract operation. Quite a light show once the surgeon removed the lens until replaced it with an artificial one. Anyway my left eye is almost 20/20 while the right about 20/400. I don't have any reading glasses but did take one pair of cheap ones to correct for the left eye and knocked the lens out of the right side for reading. But the parallax needs correction so decided a month back to drop by Site for Sore Eyes to have them make a reading pair. They actually did the last visit but they got my order wrong because I had left the frame for the sunglasses to be upgraded (yes, the frames held sunglass lenses). I have a pair of computer glasses for work as they are more mid-range than close but don't work as reading glasses. Anyhoo, they told me I needed another session with the optometrist because by law it is required every two years. Haven't been back for that.
