Just underwnet cataract surgery for my left eye on Monday.and my right eye is next as soon as the surgeon clears me.
I was legally blind for at least a day; discomfort and blurriness like I've never experienced before. Yesterday I had
a bit of improvement in blurriness subsiding & I saw my surgeon on a follow-up. Had a lot of optic pressure and the eye
was rock hard to touch so he numbed my eye & proceeded to cut a small slit that immediately relieved the pressure.
Day 3.....Hoy Cow....I am now excited. The difference in seeing is amazing. The world is bright again and colors are
so vivid. When I look only thru my right eye, it's dark and colors are dim. Do the same thing with the surgically corrected
left eye and it's like someone turned on the lights.....Wow. What a diffrence. I'm not even going to attempt to play pool
until both eyes are done and healed. But I know I can predict with absolute certainty that cataract surgery is going to be
enjoyable and helpful for playing pool. I had no idea how much light coming through my normal eye lense was being
affected by cataracts until my left eye's lense was replaced this past Monday.
There is a premium cataract surgery not covered by insurance that runs about $2400 per eye over what insuarance pays
It will eliminate any need for glasses the rest of your life, But I'm in my 70's and that pays for a whole lot of eyeglasses and
I can tell now I'll only need distance glasses since I can read and type without any glasses. when I only use my left eye to
view. In case anyone out there is considering cataract surgery, do it.....oh yeah, you gotta do it. The difference is astonishing
and until you experience it, you'll never fully appreciate how bad your eyesight was.
