Going in for cataract surgery on Thursday, can't believe......

[Worried senior]

9. I had both eyes done

in Feb.

The only things I had to do was a wk before the surgery was wash the lid with an antibacterial soap. Day of surgery they had me wash my whole face with baby shampoo. They put drops in my eye and gave me medication to make re relax and forget. The surgeries were one wk apart and even the procedure changed the 2nd time.

I am very happy I had it done, didn't get decent eye sight until the next day and it would have been nice had they told us it could take awhile as everyone is different.

I got the blob as they call it, a drop of medication at the time of the surgery and not drops needed after which the first couple days I could see something and had floaters but not for long and sure made things a lot easier.

My sight has changed over time, had to go to eye dr and be checked a few times and then I finally was able to get reading glasses but really can get by with readers and the best thing is that I can drive without glasses.

If I was rich I could have had lenses that would require no readers at all but since I was relying on Medicare and supplemental I went with the cheapest.
