In a couple of hours, my eye will be sliced open and the lens sucked out. And then a artificial lens will be inserted. Cataract surgery.

It is supposed to be a piece of cake. 10 minutes. Thousands done every year. But I am always a little apprehensive before going under the knife.

I had to stop taking my medicines for a week now, before the surgery. NSAID's and aspirin and Tylenol all stopped. And man I am feeling it.

But the upside is I am supposed to have clear vision again. I feel like I am looking through glasses with some smudges on them.

Anyway, fingers crossed...
 
I had both done years ago. Best decision ever. You’ll do fine and will notice a vast improvement immediately.
All the best sir.
 
:pray:Here is wishing for you only success, in this surgical procedure, Tom.:wink: A a fast, and smooth recovery.:dance2:
 
Thanks fella's! Everthing went well, they tell me. I am at home with a shield over the eye. Stuff is blurry but was told will be tht way for 24 hrs or so.Depth perception is kinda crazy. No pain, just a little dry and scratchy feeling. "See" ya. :)

@Kmot the surgery is cake compared to the after party

DO NOT DO ANYTHING STUPID ...that was rough for me

no touching...no rubbing...no bend down... no " head bathing " like for a while a week

NO LIFING HEAVY STUFF...for a few months

they told me to sleep with the shield a month...but I kept it on A FEW MONTHS...

I could see good right away

but

I had an ache if i did not sleep with glasses for a few months

I WEAR GUNNAR UV GLASSES NOW ALL THE TYME... I BOUGHT ALL 3 LEVELS ...ALMOST CLEAR...YELLOW FOR CLOUDY... GREEN FOR SUNNY

I ALWAYS WEAR BLUE BLOCKERS ON THE PC

bad results are RARE...AND KNOWN IMMEDIATELY...

BE SCRUPULOUS WITH THE DROPS- STEROIDS - MEDS REGIMEN..THE FIRST WEEK...AND I THINK IT ENT ON A MONTH

NEVER TOUCH OR RUB YOUR EYES EVER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE...

I AM 6 MONTHS CLEAR NOW DID MY RIGHT EYE... SEE LIKE AN EAGLE AND A MOUNTAIN GOAT HUMPED and had a baby

BUT I WEAR THE GUNNAR NO PRESCRIPTION UV ALL THE TYME

ABOUT 1 MONTH AFTER THE SURGERY I TIED ON A GOOD ONE...MANAGED TO POKE MY EYE A BIT...GOT HYSTERICAL RAN TO DOC... didn't hurt the polly lense none

SO WW 1 AMERICAN PILOTS CRASHED AND GLASS WINDSHIELDS GOT IN EYES VISION IMPAIRED BIG...BRIT PILOTS HAD PLEXI WINDSHIELDS..BRIT PILOTS CRASHED...PLEXI GOT IN EYES...VISION UNIMPAIRED...SO THIS TECHNOLOGY BEEN AROUND LONG LONG TYME-THAT IS HOW THE PLEXI LENSE IDEA CAME TO A SCIENTIST AND GOT INVENTED-

MOST COMMON SURGERY IN USA...;LEAST PROBLEMS...BUT STILL TOM...I'M WITH YOU...Its over AFTER THE FAT LADY FINISHED SINGING

hey good luck ...IT IS AFTER WHEN YOU CAN FUK IT UP ! BE MINDFUL ! B SCRUPULOUS ! NO MISTAKES

- when I couldn' t drive at night or read...scared the urine out of me... so happy with gratitude... and luv it met the Medicare threshold 20/40

" MEDICALLY NECESSARY " wahoo
 
All the best Tom. I hope your peepers come out crystal clear.
yeah...side benefit along with 20/20 is getting rid of nasty cloudy lense which only gets worse once the cornea has oxidized

mines was small...still legal to drive in my state without glasses...but the change really bothered me...especially driving at night and reading sucked ...

had right eye done AUGUST ...like TOM sez stats pretty good but you gotta prey your doc is sober and not thinking about pussy the titty bar his losses in his stock margin account his wife just left him etc he missed a meeting and fell off the wagon he been taking too much of his own medicine...accidents happen corrective surgeries are rough...like the nurse told me ...mess up you get " a heavy prescription "

if you live 100% get cataracts
