I will only ever consider eye surgery when it’s “strictly necessary” meaning that glasses aren’t an alternative. If I get cataracts I’ll probably leave it as late as I can. I’m terrified of the possibility of an eye op going wrong in the long term, as I like my eye sight. Corrective eye surgery as an alternative to glasses is not for me.

If you decide to hold off on the cataract op, be forcibly objective in regularly reassessing your night driving ability. A lot of drivers just sort of let it slide, adjusting as they go, as their night vision gradually goes to absolute crap. You can see perfectly well in the daylight but have scattering of headlights caused by the cataract render you effectively blind.
