So, my mom's got cataracts in both her eyes and the doc mentioned surgery was an option. Back when we discussed it, her blood sugar was stable. But now, her fasting blood sugar's at 142 and the post-meal is 138. With these levels, is it still safe to go ahead with the operation?

Question

I'm really worried about my left eye, as I've been told I have a cataract. Could you tell me more about what this means for my eye right now and what the recovery process could look like? Also, are the medicines I'm taking okay for this condition?

Question

I'm a bit confused about my recent eye test results. I went to Titan Eye and they said my vision is 2.00 on both sides, so I ordered glasses based on that. But a few days later, during a family checkup, another eye test showed my vision as 1.50. When I asked Titan Eye about this, they mentioned that a variation of 0.25 or 0.50 is normal and suggested that wearing 2.00 glasses wouldn't harm my eyes. But I'm not quite convinced. Is it really okay to wear glasses with a slightly higher power, like 2.00 instead of 1.50? Do you think its better to stick with a 1.50 power for reading, or should I consider progressive lenses? I've tested with another doctor who also said it's 1.50. What's your advice on the best route to take here?
