I had eye surgery this morning…

I finally had the cataract from my left eye removed (I had the right eye corrected in 2017). I have to wear an eye patch when I sleep and put in drops several times a day for the next few weeks, but otherwise it seems to have gone well.

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.

@bijouxbroussard That's great news. 🙂
