Re: 'Great White' Cataract Surgery
Oh dear God... My mother had cataract surgery two years ago. And to think, it's hereditary. Now I know what's involved in the surgical process. Yikes!!!

Re: 'Great White' Cataract Surgery
Was she happy with her results? When my dad had one of his eyes done, he was very happy. After he had the second one done, he had two or three different pairs of prescription eyeglasses. A friend in his 60's had one eye done and was very happy! I have to see if he ever had the other one done. |

Re: 'Great White' Cataract Surgery
This is your ONLY visual window you're born with to connect with everything there is in your existence... I'd be scared shitless if that was taken away from me in some botched cataract surgery.

Re: 'Great White' Cataract Surgery
Oooooh GOD....I'm gonna have to go thru this pretty soon. A terrifying prospect to say the least but a necessary one as I've lost about 80% of my vision in the last two years, especially in my right eye. Worst part of this shit is that I'm a nature photographer by trade and I'm at the stage where I can't take pictures in direct sunlight thanks to the glare. Anything set against a white or light coloured backround and my entire field of vision washes out with all detail blending in. All I see is light and dark...not fun, boy. I've almost gotten hit by cars three times in the last month cos I can't see the fucking things comng..hell, even typing this message is difficult as the white of the screen is washing out so badly I have to increase the font size in order to finish. The idea of someone hacking away at my eye is and always has been horrifying to me, but the idea of not being able to see is even worse. GOD how I hate this....

Re: 'Great White' Cataract Surgery
I had cataracts removed in both eyes when I was 52. I then had lasik surgery at the same time. My mother is 79, had both eyes done in May of this year. Herekitty, you have no idea how much better you will see. The surgery is one tiny incision. |
