It was amazing how vivid colors are after you heal.


That was amazing. After the first eye and before the second I would alternate eyes looking at HD images on the TV (especially video games). The difference was incredible. Unfortunately you get used to the clarity very quickly. I am a bit more sensitive to sunlight now. Always was but more noticeable now. Bright days can be more uncomfortable without sunglasses. But that’s always been a thing for me.

I had cataract surgery 2 years ago. I wore glasses since I was 10, no more! I know a lot of people are squeamish about eye surgery, but it was really no big deal. My Dr. said I had the cataracts of someone 25 years older than me, so he had to really work on one eye. That ached a little while he was doing it, but was truly not a bad experience and the end results are life-changing.

About a month previous, I had had Mohs surgery on my nose....that WAS AWFUL. Cataract surgery is a breeze.

The azaleas were blooming right after I had the procedures and the colors were intense.

I had it earlier this year. Use the artificial tears until your eyes aren’t irritated. Also make sure you follow the antibiotic drop schedule.
