Cataracts
Just had my second cataract operation (yesterday)all is well. Had my first one done February 12th. Dumped my distance glasses now (hooray) no more unsightly dints on the side of my nose. And funny enough I can breath better (Asthmatic) due to no pressure on my nostrils from having to wear those pesky specs. :thumb:

Mine went fine couple of years ago...next one needs doing but having bimonthly injections for diabetic macular oedema(at £950 a time for NHS),and will only do operation when course complete.

I had mine done 2 years ago. Now the left one is collecting debris on the lens have to have it sand blasted to clean it back to wearing glasses
|
My two operations where a bit tricky for the surgeon due to me acquiring 'floppy iris syndrome' caused by the medication 'Tamsulosin' that I have to take for prostrate/bladder problems. It's not the only thing that the above medication affects. All told, I am happy with the outcome. I can see the dust now. :jester:

I had both mine done a couple of years ago, far less aggro than a tooth clean at the dentist, like anything it does have some risk, but my recommendation is, get it done.

Got my left one done last year, went to the Dr for my annual eyesight test for my driving license, [in Aus everyone over 80 must do it or no license} I had my glasses on,he said don't think you will pass next year, I said I have been driving without my glasses for the last two months, he checked my sight without my glasses, he said you have passed and don't need glasses to drive, this after 60 years of using them to drive. I may have to have the other one done shortly, maybe I'' get a pilots job.

Yesterday I had my first cataract removed and the lens replaced with with an artificial (I'm having trouble typing this as I recover).
The new lens shows me that I've been missing the shorter wavelenghts for some years. In the garden, the buddleia, once magenta, is now royal blue. I thought then to check my kiln-fired enamels (a hobby) and am astonished. What once looked grubby, now is ablaze with colour. The other eye will be done sometime soon. |
That's good news but the Merchant Navy Programme is no longer on short wave.
(Good for you. One of my life's hazards only hinted at so far). |
My first eye cataract surgery is scheduled for August 24th, 2023.

Going in for left eye cataract removal and lens fitted next Tuesday also for remove a stitch in right eye, which was put in 19/01/23 because I moved when he put lens in. At least it’s free in the Spamedica hospital, maybe because of my age.

Had cataract successfully removed yesterday,very slightly painfull. Go back in two weeks to have stitch removed from right eye. Seconds before op started a man came in to theatre wanted to know my name /address and date of birth, I told him and he immediately disappeared. I actually came across one or two people who spoke English as there first language

It does not matter if they spoke English or not as their first language, if they were not there you would be walking about with a white stick.
