I was totally shocked at the greenish-yellow haze, or tint, in the uncorrected eye. The eye with the new lens saw our then-overcast skies as a beautiful pure blue-ish gray, while it was - literally - a greenish-yellow in the other. Indoor lights were whiter, even older incandescent bulbs. And to think that I'd always prided myself on observing colors accurately. People told me that colors would appear brighter, etc., and I pooh-poohed that, thinking that the main problem with the cataracts was the inability to focus properly. It's really everything that's affected.I later remembered noticing some years back that if I looked at something with one eye and then the other, one saw "colder" colors and the other one "warmer". With the two, though, I was happy in the assumption that that was the correct balance. Hah! That difference is completely gone now, something I could never have predicted.Do you actually focus better since having the surgeries? I don't. I might even be worse regarding focusing.My vision for my entire life before the surgeries was usually expressed by doctors as 20/1500 and worse (I think they just guesstimate those numbers, and that's probably common for nearsighted people anyway). Now it's 20/20. I focus on distance and medium distance stuff beautifully, and close-up stuff beautifully with the cheaters. If that's what you mean?

Finishing up The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder. The author, David Granny, wrote the book, Killers of the Flower Moon. Interesting story, well told.
