Painless and an out-patient procedure.

I had both eyes done years ago. No pain, out patient. Over the years they get cloudy so both eyes got a laser shot in the Docs office.

One of the best ways to check for other issues. Like diabetes out-of-control, for uncontrolled blood pressure.

Amen. I have near 20-20 distance vision but Sandy's vision has always been quite poor. She has worn glasses since childhood.

Last week she got cataract surgery with one of the current generation super-lenses and is now 20-20 in that eye, and can read a book without reading glasses! She gets the other eye done week after next and can't wait.

Yep, me, too. Called my eye doctor and made an appointment for next week. They said my eyes were last checked in 2018, and I had the beginnings of cataracts then.

I hate to say it but if they monitor me any closer I'm going to need a live in nurse.
