Thank you, chaps. Yes, I've read and thought about that. If I have it done, it's going to be very strange for a while as, obviously, the prescription in the existing lens will be miles out, which will really screw that eye up then. Guessing I might have to wear an eye patch for a while.......If vision was normal in that eye post-op (doubtful, I think, given how bad my eyes are and astigmatism), the existing lens could be simply removed.......
We'll see.
Going to see that good optometrist tomorrow afternoon and will be guided by her recommendations.

Hahaha!
So the outcome is there's definitely a cataract there and it's affecting vision. She's recommended that I have it done and has said that, once done and with the correct lens in place, as well as being clearer, vision will be much improved. To the point where the prescription for glasses will be infinitely weaker and there should be no looking back. She also recommends having my right eye done. There's the start of a cataract there too. But the main reason is that with just one eye done there will be a huge imbalance with my eyes - one being so much stronger once done, making things tricky. She says that with both eyes done my glasses should be so much thinner, the prescription required only for the astigmatism.
So, not looking forward to having it done but definitely looking forward to better vision. Possibly the best vision I will have ever had as I've needed glasses from a very young age. If all goes well, could be a life-changer.
So, pre-op assessment next Tuesday it is.

Totally understandable that you’re not looking forward to it Tone but it will be worth it. I’ve known a couple of people over the years who have had the op and it has positively transformed their vision.
