Cataract surgery and Light Adjustable Lens

[Gem99ultra]

It's been 10 years since I had the lense replacement in both eyes. For the first 8 years my vision was 20/20. I've notice a very small decrease in sharpness in the last 2 years, but nothing at all like they were before eye surgery.
I strongly recomment lense replacement and to be done by the very best eye doctor in your area. You'll be glad you did.

My doctor suggest the single vision saying he sees more complaints with the multifocal lenses. I went the safer route. Plus it was cheaper, like half the cost.
Been 2 yrs I still see good far as promised. Avoiding repairs was not optional, lens implants was.

My doc called today and moved the first eye surgery to June 2nd. She was willing to do the surgery on Memorial Day, but the Surgery Center is closed.

Tomorrow is my first eye surgery. My wife will bring me to the surgery center at 9.45am.

My biggest worry is that I can't eat anything after midnight tonight. That means no breakfast until after the surgery.

I'm not a happy camper if I don't have my meals at 6am, noon, and 6pm every day.

Good luck! The procedure is easy-peasy. You'll be in and out and amazed at your new vision.

It's been 4 hours since the surgery. Everything went well. I do have some discomfort in that eye. And it's still very cloudy. I think this is all normal.

I go back to see the doctor tomorrow morning.

The only other issue was the nurse trying to stick the IV in, missed twice and called another nurse who finally got it on the third try.

Turf,
Glad you're home and recovering. Keep up with the eye drop schedule and you'll be fine.

It's been a little over 24 hours since the surgery now. Went see my doctor this morning and she said everything looked good. My vision in the right eye tested at 20/30. She said that is normal and should improve soon. There is probably still a little swelling in that eye. I no longer have any pain or discomfort in that eye.

We removed the lense from my glasses for the right eye and I wore them with only the left eye lense for most of the day. I can see clearly out of both eyes, but they are not 'synchronized' so I did develop a headache after a while.

I picked up an eye patch, and I may try wearing that over my left eye to see if that works.

Even though it is still early, I am happy with the results. My left eye is scheduled for June 16.

Taking one lens out of the glasses generally doesn't work because the eye that has been corrected is corrected at the eye while the glasses correct at a short distance. When I had mine done, my doctor went on vacation between the 1st and 2nd eye. They gave me a soft contact lens for the uncorrected eye and that worked well.
