I've got mild cataracts too and I agree. The optometrist advised about 6 years ago that I'll likely need them fixed in another 2 or 3 years, then next time said they were exactly the same - he'll check them next time. Idiots driving in town, in good weather with a multitude of lights on the front of their cars don't realize how it affects other drivers.
Let us know when you figure out what the thread is actually about. I lost that information a while back.
