My husband and I decided to live dangerously today

8. Even better - I might have true binocular vision for the first time in my life

I have severe astigmatism in right eye - so much that if both eyes were like it, I'd be legally blind. With the new(ish) toric lenses, they might be able to give me close to 20/20 vision in that eye.

My cataracts are not very bad - just bad enough that Medicare will pay for the cataract surgery. I have to pay for the fancy new lenses, but it will be cheaper than buying new glasses for that eye as it is now for the rest of my life. They will do both eyes. the left is just a bit far sighted, which has gotten worse with age, so the toric lens will improve the vision in that eye back to the 20/20 I used to have with it.

I've worn glasses since I was five years old. It would be nice to only have to wear them for very detailed needlework in the future!
