Let's talk about cataract surgery.....

Thanks GRHazelton for starting this thread and everyone for all your responses. I found everyone’s information and experiences very helpful. I had my left eye done on Wednesday and am scheduled for the right eye in approximently two weeks. My surgery for the left eye went well and upon removal of the eye patch I was immediately seeing better. Now, two days post op and my vision in my left eye is even better. Hugh difference!!! Besides clearer vision and more vibrant colors what I really notice is the increase in contrast. I’ve been walking around the house, looking at all of our photographs on the walls and marveling at how good they all look. After consulting with my surgeon I opted for standard lenses and will need reading glasses for close up. This should work out well for me since this is what I was use to before the cataracts started.

I was anticipating the first cataract surgery and was quite pleased that I had it done. Scheduling the second one was quite challenging due to a shortage of available operating rooms.
