Cataract surgery restored my vision to 20/20, although it has dropped back a bit over the years, so I wear glasses for extended reading sessions again. As Williamson said, having private health insurance really pays off on those occasions. In QLD you can get them done in the Public system, but the wait is 2 years for one eye and another six months for the second.

An extended holiday in QLD might be worthwhile - every cloud has a silver lining.

As some would know I had cataract surgery last October after a roughly 15 month wait, bear in mind Covid did screw up the waiting time.
Had my second eye done less than a month later so really can't complain about the wait time.
Only cost to me was the original payment when I saw the eye specialist to have laser treatment to relieve the pressure in my eyeballs.
While I was there he said he would put me on the waiting list to get my cataracts done which was actually news to me as I didn't know I even had cataracts! :o
So Kev, being a pensioner, the cataract surgery may cost you nix and, fingers crossed, they'll do the surgery at Warrnambool Hospital.
If they do try to slug you I'd be looking for another specialist! :popcorn
Good Luck! :thumbs
