Blindness Video

I saw this on YouTube (shorts):

The video was explaining the various types of vision impairment versus total darkness. The second one on the list was cataracts. The demonstrated deterioration was much worse than what I experienced. I did have minor blurriness, but it was not very obtrusive, and there was a slight yellow tinge on everything. The impact on my vision was minimal as I was still able to do work on a computer and drive to/from work. Now I am wondering if I needed the surgeries done at this time.

The video also mentioned that by the age of seventy-five, 50% of people have cataracts. Since everyone in my family had the surgery, I would have needed the same eventually. Luckily both eyes seem to be recovering well, and my nearsightedness has improved a lot.
