Recovering from cataract surgery
(1/4) > >>
Chuck in E. TN:
I had cataract surgery this morning. I’m home trying to keep busy, as the eye is getting uncomfortable now. I have a plastic bubble taped over it to dim/diffuse the bright light. My good wife is applying the requisite drops for me. I see double and the affected eye seems to be out of alignment.
While the surgery was less uncomfortable than I expected, the aftermath sux! I was told I’d see an immediate improvement, but immediate must mean more than the 4 ½ hours since the surgery so far. The affected eye is still dilated, and much more light sensitive than when they were both dilated for the initial exam.
I have a follow up appointment again tomorrow morning.
I am keeping busy trying to find stuff to read that is machining related as I won’t be allowed in the shop for at least a week.
Anyone been through this? Any encouraging words?

Hi Chuck
             I had the "opp" about 4 years ago, and had a wonderfull black eye for a while. I do'nt remember too much about how i felt right after the event, but boy o boy what a diffrence after that first day.  As i have only ever had one eye that worked, it took a while to persuade me to have it done but i am realy glad i did and would now tell anyone with the problem-GET IT SORTED :poke:

Hope it turns out ok for you Chuck.    Cheers  Deko

Hi
Chuck
I worked with a bloke who had his done
He reckoned it was like a bad welding flash for a few days
I remember when he came back to work , he looked at a gearbox casing i had welded ,:i thought you were better than that: was his comment.
He told me the difference was like having a new face mask to look through
I hope yours works out as good as his
