After cataract surgery yesterday morning on my right eye, it’s a bit sore, but not as much as I thought it would be; I wouldn’t want to rub it or scratch it. 4 hourly drops are lovely, especially the one that has to be kept in the fridge. Light in the eye is hugely improved (I was technically blind in that eye as of yesterday morning) and I can see houses across the street, though still a little blurry, when I take my glasses off.
I’m looking forward to using the viewfinder of my camera with my right eye and not the left, as I’ve been doing for over a year (which Carole hadn’t noticed).
At least when I have the other eye done in early July, I know that the worst part is the anaesthetic injection into the eyeball.
Ouch. I won't show this to David. He has to see his eye surgeon next month for a glaucoma check up and he also needs cataract surgery too. Only one more eye to go and your will see things you haven't seen for a while
I've had both eyes done Phil and I no longer need glasses. I was so amazed when I looked across the room the next day and could see the individual hairs on my dog's fur, not just a blur! So worth the discomfort, the benefits are immeasurable.
I had a macula hole in my eye which was repaired by an amazing surgeon. After the surgery he warned me that I would get a cataract which he removed several months later. He very kindly gave me a new lens in the unaffected eye so that they would match and I am pleased to say that everything went well.
