I’m one of those people who tear up when someone just *talks* about doing something to an eyeball.

I don’t know how cataract surgery is done. But they would have to put me O-U-T before sharp metal came anywhere near my optic organs.

Love your blog; been reading it for at least 15 years.
Kind thoughts!

I can see clearly now. Everything used to look like it had a brown cast over it, but now the colors are so bright!

Good luck with the surgery neo and hope you have a speedy recovery. I have also had significant eye surgery beyond cataracts – detached retinas when I was 18. Later had cataract surgery that went normally.

Amen.

The benefits to my vision were amazing. Most trips to the dentist cause more discomfort IMO.

A side benefit was the discovery in the pre-surgery evaluation that I already had significant glaucoma in one eye (cupping of the optic nerve) that my optometrist had not noticed. Yep, damage already done.

So when you get to that certain age “watch out” for glaucoma. It runs in families and steals your sight.

I was scared to death before mine, but the procedure was short and painless. When I shared my nervousness with my eye surgeon, he said “Don’t worry, we’ll give you our special two-martini cocktail” and whatever they did give me was wonderful! Best wishes from one of your many fans.

May your result be good and your recovery swift.

Sorry o hear about the complications. My best wishes for your surgery. Don’t try to rush your recovery. We’ll all be here when you/re back up and completely recovered.
