    I hope that everything goes well and that you're able to see great out of this eye again. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

    My dad had surgery for detached retinas in both of his eyes. It was about 10 years apart so the second surgery was much better than the firstone. Since it's hereditary, I now have to have my eyes dilated when I get them checked to make sure that everything is okay. My mom had cataract surgery and one of her eyes turned out better than the other one for some reason but she can still see well and does wear glasses.

    Sending good thoughts for you today. My dad had cataract surgery just a few months ago and it went fabulous, he sees so much better now. I'm certain the same will be true for you!

    Lots of positive thoughts that your surgery goes well. Like Karen, I have a small cataract in one eye, but nothing has to be done yet. My vet's book keeper had surgery for cateract and she is so happy about it.

    Purrs from Fister, also.

    I had cataract surgery on both eyes 3 years ago - 3 weeks apart. It was the quickest, most pain free surgery that I ever had. I was in and out of the surgery center in about an hour with each. It's was amazing to see true colors again, and wonderful to no longer have to wear glasses, except for reading. I'd do in again in a heartbeat!
    Good luck - you'll do just fine.

    Good luck!

    My Dad has his left eye done in January, gets the right eye done in June. (It was difficult dealing with all the after appointments w/ snow and an 84 year old, so we waited).

    Before surgery, his left eye was worse than 20/200. With 24 hours, it was 20/25!

    Yes, it is YOUR eye, and you are going to be nervous. Focus on the positive -- it is common surgery, many many successes and YOU are going to be one of them!

    Prayers and good wishes that all goes well with your eye surgery!
