Cataract PSA

Thanks Sonny. Yes, this topic was very helpful an encouraging. :- )

 

After reading your message I made an appointment to have my eyes checked this Friday. Thank you for bringing awareness to all of us.

 

That's great news!

 

Synchro I am so happy for you. The hidden surprise is that with a low prescription, the contact will be lower price, shorter time for delivery, becasue it will be "open stock", and you are able to wear a contact after surgery.

One of my unfounded fears was having the surgery and still need reading glasses. I am so happy for you, thanks for sharing "your insight"...pun intended.

 

Outstanding!

Nice to be able to see all obstacles in your way

 

Honestly even at 32 with all the long nights, the lack of eye-pro in many cases... I just need to get to an eye-doctor for my overall eye health...

I'm an idiot... I have... had... 20/10 vision which as a young man I'd decided I'd never need to this and that. Time to get in and SEE whats up.

 

Four hours is a great start. You are going about it correctly. It took me about five days to go to a typical 12 hour period. Two weeks later I had to travel for work. After the flight was delayed one hour at a time, by the time I got home it was in for 23 hours...I had no issues. I don't recommend 23 hours for anyone, but it did happen, and I had no issues.

 

Mom had cataracts removed and lenses installed 2 years ago. Like new eyes. She needs 1x for reading and that’s it.

 

Thanks for the update Synchro. :- ) Having my right eye done a month ago, my results weren't 100%, but the results were much better than not doing the surgery. I'll need my other eye done down the line, but at this time I'm 20/20 too, so MD said to wait. I only need non-prescription over-the-counter reading glasses. Glad to hear the latest from you. Super pleased all is going well. :- )

 

Last December I suddenly could not read well with my right eye. After reading this thread I was concerned. I had also noticed that my distance vision had changed in both eyes. A trip to the eye doctor provided mental relief. My visual acuity changed. Left eye distance a little worse, right eye distance 20/20 at the cost of poorer close-up vision. Now (thanks to Zenni Optical) I have new distance glasses and new reading glasses and a clean-bill of (eye) health! I've also been using the reading glasses to play guitar.

 

My wife had cataract surgery yesterday. Everything went well.

 

I speculated that I had macular degeneration, but the Doc assured me not, to my great relief.
