I was wearing contact lenses that were -12, last eye exam(end of Feb.) the doctor backed me off to a -11, and I did have some improvement, but the cataracts had progressed to the point of surgery, and I was then referred to Bennett & Bloom eye centers. The surgeries were scheduled a week apart due to my being so incredibly near-sighted. As of my followup appointment today, I'm currently 20/25 in both eyes(and that's for distance only) and the dr. is incredibly pleased that I'm doing so well.
It was definitely well worth it.
