I'm due for new glasses so I went and got my eyes checked and found out that I have a cataract in my left eye.
Surgery will fix it. With glasses, I can see fine and because it's my left eye, it doesn't affect my shooting so I am going to roll with it for another year and see what it looks like next year. It does impact night driving though. I have noticed that glare bothers me more and evidently it's related to the cataract.
There was a time something like this would have really bothered me but I suprised myself. It's common, it's fixable and I probably don't need to do anything for 3-5 years or so, unless I decide otherwise. Not a big deal....but I am glad I went and had my eyes checked. Now I know and I can deal with it in my own timeframe. One thing I've learned is that it can always be a lot worse. Be thankful for what it isn't.
