    surgery

    I just wanted to give everyone here a little heads up. In a little over a month, ( jan,8th), I'm going in for cataract surgery. A few years ago I had my right eye done, but now the left one is starting to go. As a diabetic, it's important to keep track of my eyes (and everything else)!

    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Hi David,
    I'm an insulin junkie too and had the cataract surgery on both eyes a few years ago. Since my diabetes showed up in a routine eye examination I do continue with my eye doctor as he recommends. It seemed to take longer to get ready than it took for the procedure - I never felt a thing! Now my vision is as close to 20-20 as it gets. I'll be praying that all goes well for you!

    I'm not diabetic, but I had this surgery on both eyes, done just 3 weeks apart, several years. It was without a doubt, the easiest, quickest, and most pain free surgery I ever had done. But then you already know this since you've had one done already!

    Good luck!

    And you can believe every word Pom said--I had it done thanks to her and I am so glad now that both eyes are done...I can actually see colours and recognize people, not walking into walls either. I only need reading glasses now which is so nice, especially in winter when you come inside from the cold and your glasses fog up to make matters worse.
