Eyes are just fine

The cataract surgery went just fine for anyone that is interested. When
they put me on the gurney, they also put some drops in my eyes that I
suppose they had to give time to work. That waiting was the worst part.
The surgery itself was nothing.

The vision out of my right eye is the best it has been in probably 10
years. Right now, the glasses I have have too strong a prescription in
the right eye, and I am not even using them. I suspect I will probably
need glasses, but the doctor said I have to wait 2-3 weeks before I can
get new glasses, but for now the ones I have are making things worse if I
wear them.

That is terrific news. Glad to hear the great outcome.
No matter what the odds these kinds of things can be
worrisome.

WoooHOooo, Brian. So happy to hear your good news. Did you 'simply' (
yeah, right - like that's simple) have cataracts removed or did you go for
implants too? My eye doctor told me, last August, that I could wait a while
but would need eventually to do both. Since then, there's some newer
implants that I need to know about. Polly

I was wondering how your surgery went, Brian. So happy to hear it was
a huge success!

Glad to hear the good news Brian! My DH had cataract surgery (both
eyes - but at separate times) a bit over a year ago. He had the same
vision problems at first. A couple of weeks will give your eye/vision
a chance to settle in after the surgery.

I wold like to thank everyone for their words of encouragement. I think
I will eventually need some amount of correction, but right now I am
enjoying better vision without correction than I have in probably 10
years.
