I'm starting to get the impression that the op is now so commonplace that it will be suggested quite early in the development of cataract problems - a good thing. It used to be very much a last resort.
I remember my Grandmother had the op at some point back in the 60s or 70s when she was probably in her 80s. At that time the whole thing was a really big deal and required an extended recovery time.
Now it seems to be 15 minutes and a return to normal vision within a few days for most people.
