Cataract Surgery April 27 UD #15!

[pomtzu]

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!

I had my right eye done in January . After a very bad experience with the wrong surgeon I was ready to forget the whole thing but thanks to the encouragement and pep talk from a great friend I decided to go ahead with it after seeing another surgeon. All I can say is - it was a piece of cake , exactly as I had been told. Unbelievable the difference it made, it's a new world out there. I can actually see colours instead of just grey and white or dirty yellow. I'm now waiting to get the left eye done but we have a long waiting list here, I'm hoping to have it done this year , summer would be nice as battling the snow and cold at 4:00 am was the only hard part.
