Yes, brill!
Veils have been lifted?
I can now see a new area of advertising gumpf for foo providers aimed at the average age of hifi buyers: [ABC network switch/fuse/grounding widget (take your pick)] - like cataract removal for your system.

Whites too! In our kitchen there are various white finishes - floor tiles, walls, counter tops, chairs etc. Before, I never noticed, but now I can see that each is a different and distinct shade of white.

It’s actually the lens itself, cataracts or not, that gets steadily browner as we age. All newborn lenses are colourless. All 60-year old lenses are pretty brown. Our brains do their best to compensate, but if the colour just isn’t there (hardly any blue light gets through brown stuff) then it struggles to render colours properly.

I saw a cool experiment years ago where people wore glasses that turned everything upside down, and then had to do stuff like pour water from jugs. After a short while people were fine, and indeed needed a period of readjustment once the glasses were removed.

The type of multi-focal lens I got have concentric rings which split the light into three areas for near, intermediate and far sight. This tends to have one not so good side-effect - halos around bright lights. That’s why they are not generally recommended for folk who do a lot of night driving. Apparently, the brain is also able to deal with this, but it takes 3-6 months for them to subside.
Interestingly, I also had astigmatism in both eyes, mild in the left (0.75 dioptre) and moderate (1.5 dioptre) in the right. This was dealt with by the surgeon fitting a toric multi-focal lens in my right and by making LRIs (Limbal Relaxing Incisions) in my left eye. Amazing

Glad you are having fun. Just stay away from the coloured vinyl.

I think it’s my astigmatism that creates halo and Starburst on bright lights at night, for years I thought everyone saw them.
