Good knowing that all is fine, so far. This is something I need to do, as well, and everyone I've known who has had the surgery has been quite happy they did.

@Piper If you need to do it, don't wait.

Hope it's a quick recovery ... 🦋
I have a cataract from an eye injury years ago..they keep an *eye*on it each year. 🙂 I often do see a slight film but they say it's not affecting my eyesight. Did you see a film sometimes?

@Coralmist Yes ! When I had the right one corrected, the cataract in the left eye hadn’t developed enough to be an issue. I’ve always been able to see relatively well in the dark, but when the cataracts became a problem, one clue was seeing that film or shadow. After the first operation, the shadow was gone from the right eye. Now it’s gone from the left, as well.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@bijouxbroussard That's great news. 🙂
Glad it went well. Hope you heal quickly and don’t have to rock the pirate look for too long. 🙂
bijouxbroussard · F
@OlderSometimesWiser Thank you. After today, only wearing the patch to bed. 😉
Ynotisay · M
My Mom had cataract surgery recently and said it was a game changer. So glad she had it done and she was amazed at the improvement. The technology around that stuff is incredible. Here's to enjoying the outcome. That's going to feel amazing.
bijouxbroussard · F
@Ynotisay When I had the right eye done, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was wild being glasses-free for the first time since I was 7 years old ! 😃
Ynotisay · M
@bijouxbroussard That's pretty much exactly what my Mom said! What a great feeling that must be. Congratulations. That's a big deal. Enjoy your new eyes! 👍
HannahSky · F
It's amazing how that surgery helps people. Probably the most annoying part is the patch, but it's better than scratching your eye accidentally. Glad the surgery went well for you.
DallasCowboysFan · 61-69, M
I had it done in 2015.
You will be happy, it's amazing how much better your sight will be.

My dad had both eyes done after Covid. He was supposed to do it in 2020 but then Covid happened and all non essential surgery was stopped till 22' He basically was almost legally blind at that point. But they did the surgery and he got really good vision after that.
bijouxbroussard · F
@Longpatrol That’s why I waited to have my second surgery until now, too. I had the right eye corrected 7 years ago.
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
@bijouxbroussard Get well soon 👀👀

@Longpatrol Thank you. 😊

Rutterman · 46-50, M
Very glad to hear it went well. I hope you won't be inconvenienced too much while you're recovering from the surgery.
bijouxbroussard · F
@Rutterman I went to my post-op appt today, wore sunglasses for protection. The eye they worked on yesterday looked no different from the other one. But I could see so much better than I had. 😃
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@bijouxbroussard That is great news. I'm very happy for you.
Ontheroad · M
I had mine removed about 8 years ago and afterwards, I only needed glasses when reading or on the computer... best move I've made in a long time.
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
You should wear the eye patch all day and let loose a few Arrrrgggghhh's. 😁
TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M
I’m going to need this done in due course..dreading it!
bijouxbroussard · F
@TheSirfurryanimalWales As surgeries go, it’s not that bad; minimal discomfort and it’s outpatient. And you’re in the UK, so there’s probably little if any cost.
TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M
@bijouxbroussard won’t cost me anything..
bijouxbroussard · F
@TheSirfurryanimalWales Yeah, that’s what I figured.

I have one that is "growing". Was it terribly painful?
Glad you are on the mend.
Glad you are on the mend.
bijouxbroussard · F
@cuppatea It wasn’t painful at all. The most annoying thing last time was that they put the IV on the back of my hand.
This time I had them put it in my arm, and barely felt it. Today I confirmed with a follow up appt that everything’s healing well, then came home and have been watching tv without glasses. 😊

Does it have any feeling?
bijouxbroussard · F
@MethDozer You mean does it hurt ? No. The only thing that bugged me last time was the IV in my hand, so this time I had them put it in my arm, which I barely felt.
MethDozer · M
@bijouxbroussard Or discomfort, odd sensation.
bijouxbroussard · F
@MethDozer Not really. My eye is getting used to the new lens and the vision is sharper, but no discomfort.
