Cataract surgery

After reading Marks posts, And talking with a guy at work who just had his done a few months ago. I saw an eye surgeon yesterday. Im scheduled for June 21.

I got tired of reading, Watching T.V., Or a movie with one eye. But in my job I need to have both eyes to use my mics and calipers and other tools. Plus doing visual checks.

Last year my corrected vision in my left eye was 20/25. This year its 20/50.

So Mark thanks for your postings. You got me off my keyster.

Celt Tooth, I wish you the best also.

And the best wishes to both of you......
I am doing well now.....
Will probably have lasik on my right eye in a month or so to do a final astigmatism correction and that's about it.
Still need a bit of glasses at times for close up things, but all in all, sure beats being blind in my right eye!!!
Don't need glasses for driving or walking about...very good for general things now. Before I could only really see much out of my left eye.

The procedures are far more scary to ponder about than the reality of them. Never had more than a moderate amount of discomfort after the surgeries, and it passed within a day.

Do not worry about getting it done.

Hope all goes well for you both.

As it is kitten, so shall it be done.

Thanks Mark. Im a bit nervous, but I have to do it. As things happen I will post and let everyone know whats going on. Its still two months away yet. But Im sure doing the tons of paperwork to get it done will bide my time .

Cataract surgery has become a very common surgery nowadays...not to be worried.

Blessings to both of you

Jim, I am sorry to hear that you need surgery, but I am sure the outcome will be excellent. I'm already running scared of what your punning ability will be when your vision is fully restored!

Thanks for all the well wishes. The cataract in my left eye is the fast growing kind. I do have one in my riht eye but its still small and slow growing and is below my line of sight so I dont notice it yet.

I asked how they form and one of the reason is ultra violet light. So wear your uv blocking sunglasses you youngens.

I'd need some clip ons then, And currently their not on My list anytime soon.

Seems you have little knowledge of what we are talking about, then go.

Yes I do, Dad had cataracts in both eyes, Since UV light is a cause, I'd need clip on UV resistant sunglasses as I have prescription glasses.

Please cool it boys.
