Recovering from cataract surgery
Chuck in E. TN:
I think I was over anxious this morning. The operative eye was still cloudy when I went to the Dr. for pos-op follow up. He told me my pupil was still dialated from surgery and to be patient. The nurse gave me the same vision test I had before surgery and wow! What a difference.
It is now late afternoon on day 2 an the op. eye is clearing. And, now I can see to read the forum with that eye without my glasses! Joy! Joy!
Now my good eye is my bad eye. Doc says I can have that one done in a month!
Haleluya!
Don't hesitate a day longer than necessary!

That's great, Chuck!
A friend of mine had it done recently, and was completely happy after a week, though the eyedrops had to be administered for a bit longer than that.
I'm sure eye #2 will go just as well.

Awesome news Chuck. I was just logging on to see how it went today.
** on a side note, I just got my glasses 2 weeks ago...

You will find that it will cloud over in about six to twelve months and you will need laser eye treatment to blast a clear hole over the surface of the plastic implant..... absolutely painless.

Yep, That's what I was told before my ops and that's what happend to me. All done courtesy of the NHS. Excellent service.
But only needs doing ONCE !!

Hi Chuck
Good to hear all is going well. I would not worry about it clouding over, they told me it may happen, but 4 years on it still ai'nt. Aestus, it must be all that horizontal rain you get up there. :beer: (only joking i lived in Forres for a while about 35 years ago)
A point of interest to anyone else having the "opp". I have been short sighted all my life, great close up vision, useless distance vision.
What i did not fancy was suddenly things being the other way round after 68 years. So i asked if it was possible for things to stay the same way (but without the gloom), no problem, they can put your vision anyway you want it. :med:
Cheers Deko :nrocks: :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:
