Should I get a third opinion for Cataracts? OD-12.50OS-12.00

[Mamorlino]

I have a Posterior Subcapsular Polar cataract and cortical in both eye. I also have a degenerative myopia and small vitreous detachment. I had the same group of doctors in NJ for 20 years. I moved to another state and now have different eye doctors. I have an Opthamologist who only used a loop to look at my eyes. I have seen a retina specialist who told me seeing double is ok because my vision is 20/30 and can not be corrected any longer to 20/20. I had 20/20 in 2015 and 20/25 in 2016 and 20/30 in 2017.   The doctors haven’t done a refraction since 2017. In NJ they did a refraction every year.  My vision has stabilized only 2 times my entire life. I am 47 and worried about my low vision. I can barely read, I can’t see the TV. My eyes are dry. Driving during the day in bright sun or even overcast is practically blinding. Driving at night all I see is halos and it looks like cats are driving head on into me.  Is this it? My eye sight is just going to ruin the rest of my life? I am a -12.50 and a -12.00 with an astigmatism. I also have lots of floaters and flashes. Especially when I cough the flashes are scary.

Just answered your other post. Tell me where you live. You need a higher level of eye care.
