I have a question regarding astigmatism of the eye. I am about 46 and my right eye went slightly out of focus at all distances. I was told I had a cataract as I had surgery. Although the eye seems clearer, colors are better, but my vision is still slightly out of focus at all distances so should I continue to live with this or is there a cure for this?
