My night vision was terrible prior to surgery, and I couldn't read freeway signs. After surgery my vision went from 20/400 to 20/20 or 20/30. Everything is brighter now. I have one pair of glasses with a mild prescription for driving & watching TV, and a pair of reading glasses. You will be very happy with the results.
