Thanks for the information
Getting a second opinion from another retina surgeon is a good idea. 20/30 is still pretty good vision and as a generalization surgery is usually not done until vision is about 20/60 or worse. It is major surgery with major possible complications. It almost always makes cataracts develop/grow faster so you likely will need cataract surgery in a couple of years. Do not smoke, keep your blood pressure, blood sugars and body weight in normal range as these can make grow faster.
