I just clicked in this topic as a comment to Zen's new article, and found them all erased. Repeat in short;

Yes, you can see straight again. Recently, I heard on radio ads
on this laser surgery in stead of traditional cataract surgery.
Advantages? Laser is more precise, and it can also help correcting astigmatism. Check on Google. There is a clinic near
Stanford, too.

But I'd advise to postpone any cataract surgery as long as your
daily living is not in danger like driving. Our ping pong buddy,
Dan had a cataract surgery recently with blades. Result; vision is clear but he sees many moving floaters in vision, that bothers him, and his doctor says it often happens after surgery and recommends blasting them away with laser gun.

We may be able to get the benefit from stem cell replacement of the foggy eye lens, or other new developments, if we can wait
long enough. My hope. Danger in driving is in scattering the
on-coming headlights at night-time through the foggy lens, making the divide line on pavement appear hazy.
