Cataract Surgery On My Left Eye Today

[triumph david]

I never believed my mother when she told me not to look at pictures of necked women because i would go blind, well i almost did, so today i had a cataract removed from my left eye. The Dr. did a very successful operation and its amazing how well i can see now. I am having my right eye operated on next Tues. I have had a catarack for about 4 years until today and can't believe the difference. I will never look at dirty pictures again!!!

Well this is good news to hear that it is working for you and remember to just take a peek at those naked pictures because your mother was right

Is that why I have some minor cataracts forming? Dang it, guess I'll have to give up the photos and head down to the local strip joints to look at the real thing instead.

Glad you had success with the surgery.

Congrats on the successful surgery.
Always nice to improve the eyesight.
Good luck with the second one; may it go just as well

Hope you have a successful recovery triumph dave and all the best with your right eye. I had the cataract in my right eye operated on last February. I had to have a general, so was out for over 2 hours, but I didn't have a patch on, just a clear cover. I was ordered, over 2 years before my surgery, by the medicos, not to drive at night or in adverse weather conditions. Good thing that I didn't tell them that I rode a motorcycle - they would have probably told the DVLA and I would have been banned. I am still amazed at how good my sight is now, and how bad that it had become - marvellous for a piece of plastic about the size of a grain of rice! A Theatre Nurse friend of ours says that the old tube TVs, mobile phones and microwave ovens are to blame, so you may be innocent, after all!

Thanks, my eye is already working very well, the clarity is great and am ready for this Tuesday to get the other one 'fixed'. It is amazing in the difference.

I have a cataract in my left eye, but it's way off to the side and hasn't moved in a long while so I'm hoping it stays there.

Unfortunately, my cataract was 1mm from the centre. On a happier note, my father, who will be 91 in 2016, had his left eye done last month and is set to have the right eye done in a couple of weeks. It took him many years to gird his loins to have them done (he has sat about a foot away from his 42ins flat screen TV, for the last 5 years) but, having mine operated on, gave him more confidence, and he is looking forward to his next operation. Advances in Technology and Medical Science are almost miraculous - one day, I am reliably informed, a cure will be found for that socially debilitating disease diagnosed as motorcycling (I hope that I am only joking, but.........}

I hope so too

I never believed my mother when she told me not to look at pictures of necked women because I would go blind,

I always thought it was something else that you did would cause you to go blind .
Very pleased that all here, who've had corrective surgery, are reaping the benefits.

 

[DaveH]

That's settled then. We could all reduce our risk, I suppose, by only opening one eye, in such situations. OK, I hear the little voice at the back saying, "Hang on a minute, do you mean you or us, because you can leave me out of this thread." Nuff said! Ho, ho, ho.

 

[triumph david]

I tried that one eye deal, my right eye is not as bad as my left one was so it mite be true.

 

[triumph david]

Got my right eye fixed Tuesday, works better just need a little time for healing. I will be ready to go soon.

Excellent news triumph david - hope that you will soon have a matching pair. The 6 weeks of eye drops will fly by. I assume, like me, you have 2 long distance lenses so that you wil only need reading glasses. Or have you, like a friend of ours, a long distance in 1 eye and a short, reading, 1 in the other? After over 60 years of wearing glasses, which she hated, but couldn't have contacts, she is finally spectacle free. Only sunglasses, now. Let us know your progress.

 

[triumph david]

I will only need reading glasses now, the clarity is already back its getting better and better as tine goes by.

 

[Rocky]

Great to hear that all went well

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

That really is wonderful news indeed.
