Good news on my eyes!

18. Had cataract surgery done on both eyes

Started with blurry vision, halo light rings around lights at night, color distortions. Eye doc said left eye was in bad shape and needed new lens. Scarry - you bet. I'm a wimp when it comes to anything dealing with someone poking around in my eye. But, had it done because I weighed blindness vs. possible pain and discomfort.

NOTHING TO IT - a breeze. Some calming drugs thru an IV and was on the table about 15 min. or less. Absolutely no pain, just a remarkable light show when they inserted the new lens. In and out of the hospital (really clinic) in 3 hrs. After a day of wearing an eye patch, the result was amazing. What I thought was light greens turned out to be white, no more halo effects, and my long-distance vision was remarkable.

I BEGGED the doctor to do the other eye and after some go arounds with insurance the right eye was done also. For the first time in decades I do not wear glasses other than for reading. Colors are brighter, life is more enjoyable.

100% recommendation for anyone considering cataract surgery.
