18 months ago I had Cataract surgery in one eye. The doctor corrected to -2.0 (monovision). So, first time in years I can read and type on my laptop without reading glasses. My left eye didn't have cataract, I would have to pay out of pocket. I've been wearing a contact lens for distance (-9.5) and works great. My brain can adapt to monovision. Wearing contact len for distance I have no problems driving.
When it comes to playing pool, shots that I have taken for granted, I now struggle. Went in for two fittings in the last 18 months. -2.0 brings my right eye to same parity as left, but I can't make out my phone unless I hold it past arms length. I do have astimagtism, which my contact lens doesn't correct so the balls look like eggs.

When I was wearing glasses, I was more upright. Now with contacts and IOL, I can go lower and into a full snooker stance . Chin on shaft, I can't focus on the balls, and no longer visualize the contact point. Eye dominance has shifted to left because of contact lens, and monovision in right eye. Right now, I'm making my shots based on memory and stance.
League director had to drop my handicap as I been beaten 0-7 seveal times. LO can't lower me past D. If I wanted be in E class, I have to go the Mercedes dealership. I've been dropped by my former team. Passed around more times than an overpriced SouthWest.
Thank you for hearing my rant.
