Default cataracts



Had my 2nd eye surgery for cataracts and feel good. I only bad side effect is that you can see the dust bunnies better!

^^ That's funny you mention that! One of the first things my Mom said after recovering from cataract surgery was, "Why didn't you kids tell me my house was so dirty?!"

Glad you are recovering well. My mom said it was one of the best things she ever did.

Cataract surgery is one of those life changing procedures. Good luck with the recovery!

Well folks, I'm next ! Due to have surgery in 3 weeks. I was told that I could have this new, super-duper laser treatment instead of the regular surgery.

Well that's just fine except it will cost $4,500 for both eyes and insurance does not cover. Yikes!

I'll stick with the tried and true method.

I had both eyes done. After the first one I looked out into the garden and could not believe how much more vibrant the flowers were. Good luck, routine procedure.

She must not have come back to this thread? As I have not heard any such comment.
