    I will most likely have a cataract operation soon. My eye doctor said before Christmas if I decide to have it done, but I'm scared! However, something has to be done, I cannot read the text on TV when I cover my right eye, and everything is a bit blurred anyway... has been for a while. He said I could choose a certain private clinic, which has very good reviews, or the best hospital that deals with eye operations. So I have to decide.

    My eye doctor suggested I get it done so I go down from minus 5,5 to minus 2,5 - because I told him I have had glasses since I was 14-15 years old, and I would feel and look strange without them. I would love to have glasses with thinner glass, and I would like to be able to read in bed without glasses, as I do now.

    This is link to the clinic in Hellerup, just north of the city. There a video the shows the procedure.

    My brother in law had it done earlier this year, he is 11 years older than me and is happy about it. Like him, I think I have to have the eye dripped three times a day, but I don't think I can do that.

    Any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks!

    I would say "go for it!" My big brother had his first cataract surgery in his forties. He called me a couple days afterward and said, "Did you know grass is green? I mean, really green!' It made a big positive difference for him.

    Randi, early this year I had cataract surgery, both eyes, the second a month or so after the first. It all went just great, and I can see so much better now! No more multi-color halos around bright lights at night.

    Can you get cataract surgery a few months apart. My mother in law is here again, she lives in Mexico. She just announced she will arrive here in a few more months to get here cataracts lasered, one at a time of course. She says she will stay with us at least a month. OMG! She has done nothing in the 25 yrs. she has invited herself over for weeks every year. Not a cup has she washed. Now the Queen is going to fly in from Mexico, stay here and plant her ass for a month. I think I'm going to have a heart attack. REALLY!!!!!? Please kill me. Please.
