Tomorrow is my first cataract operation

Thanks so much. I was amazed how easy everything went this morning. I have to go back tomorrow morning again.

@CuriousGab I have never had any real problems with my eyes but did start wearing glasses in my 30's. I just turned 79 so I really don't need the new ones to last as long.

@ramapo17 That's great Now take care of your eyes..and follow the guideline given by doctor. Everything will be fine

@ramapo17 Glad it went well..take care

@ramapo17 , Yes, I agree with you that it is time consuming especially if you live far from the hospital

Thank you and it was easy. It is very time consuming as I have to go again tomorrow to make sure everything is okay and then in a couple of weeks for the next eye.

@ramapo17 Sending more good wishes to you! I had both eyes done + the laser after and still have problems,.

@marlina Thank you again.

The first operation went well and tomorrow we go to see how it is doing and then in two weeks we have to go back for the second eye. It is long and drawn out but so far so good. Thanks for your wishes.

@ramapo17 This is what my mother told me after her cataract, how the world was more colorful.

@LadyDuck I am so shocked at all the things that I thought were different colors, even my new cockatiel. That was my biggest shock. I saw his yellow circles on the side of his head for the first time.

I was worse all night waiting for this day and the day was easy. Have to go back tomorrow so the doc can check the progress and then in a few weeks have to go back for the other eye. Good luck with yours also. I am amazed how I can see colors better everywhere.

@ramapo17 welcome! update us

@rakski I will post the next information about that operation. I was shocked how many people were there to have it done.

Thank you @rakski.

I was shocked how easy it was today. The worst thing is being home and not being able to bend over to pick anything up. I am hyper and always jumping around so I had to slow down today when we got home. We go back tomorrow for a check up. I was so shocked how packed the place was and we were there at 6am.

@JudyEv I am so shocked how easy everything was and how I can see now. I keep finding things that I never even thought of not seeing. Funny how we take things for granted.

@ramapo17 I can imagine it's hard for you to remember to be careful but it's for the best. I'm glad it was 'easy'.

@ramapo17 I've been having trouble driving at night or in the rain. I can't see the lines on the roads anymore if it's dark or raining. I always hope there's a car in front of me I can follow to stay in my lane. I was driving home from work last night and missed my turn-off because I couldn't see where the road was, so had to drive the long way home.

@DaddyEvil I am a person that would only go to the doctors for a serious issue. I cannot believe how great this is. I keep walking around the house finding things I didn't know were that color. I think my most surprise is my cockatiels colors and his bird cage and all the colorful toys in it. I wonder how many clothes I wore that didn't match, hahahaha.

That is the way I have always been also but the time came that I was having big trouble seeing and knew I had to have something done. Both my husband and I researched it and talked to so many people that had it done. I couldn't drive any more and thought if anything happened to my husband, I would have to drive. I couldn't believe how easy it was and not pain at all. I cannot bend over to pick things up yet so the blood doesn't rush to my head but when I put the tv on when we got home I saw colors on it that I never knew was there. The one thing that helped me was knowing many that have had it and was successful. Plus it was only one eye. They only do one at a time.

Thank you and I am so happy already also even though it is only one day.

@ramapo17 Glad it went well for you.

@wolfgirl569 Thank you Eva.

@ramapo17, I am happy to hear about the progress of your operation. I doubt if your doctor allows you to engage in computer. It may harm your newly operated eye.

@cacay1 Thanks for the warning. I didn't read all the instructions. Guess I will check it out.

Thanks for the kind words and after just the first time I am sorry I didn't do this sooner. All the colors around me are so much brighter.

I didn't know the doctor as it is a big eye place near by and many friends and neighbors and other doctors recommended it. I am very happy.

@Hannihar Everything went well with no problems. I have to get the other eye done in a few weeks. I am totally amazed at the difference in the colors of everything on the computer. It is amazing.

@ramapo17 So I hope it went well for you.

Thank you very much. Just this one day I see some positive things. Have to go back tomorrow morning and then again in 2 weeks to have the other eye done.

Thank you for the encouragement. I needed that. I have heard it from a few people but as usual, I am a worry wart. One good thing is I have to be there by 6am so hopefully, I won't be very awake.

Thank you very much @ladyhero.

@ramapo17 your welcome

Thank you very much Laura.

@ramapo17 you so welcome

Thank you very much. I was amazed when we got home and had the tv on how I saw colors that I couldn't see before. I had to be at the doctors by 7:30am and the place was packed.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

Thank you very much.@sallypup.

I talk to him all the time and I know that he is always with me. Thank you.

@ramapo17 You are welcome.

You are right. I never heard of this until I got a lot older.
