The cataract is in my dominant eye, the left. I, too, have been having trouble manually focusing through the viewfinder for the past few months. I've also had trouble focusing while driving, especially at night. I go in for a comprehensive exam with a surgeon in three weeks.

I've stopped using my glasses for anything but driving, which is now limited to short trips in the daytime.

The eyes saw me through 67 years. I'm otherwise healthy but now wondering what other parts are going to need replacement or repair.

Best wishes for your surgery. Maybe we can compare notes after our work is done.
