My eye surgery
I had my cataract surgery and this is the
outcome!<br
success. After just taking the patch off, I have such a
vision change. I went from 20-80 WITH glasses (last
Thursday) to 20-25 WITHOUT glasses today! I went up six
lines on the eye chart WITHOUT glasses from what I was
seeing WITH glasses! It is unbelieveable! I had to have
the lense taken out of the right side of my
glasses….cute, huh???? Everything has a pink cast and my brain
hasn’t had time to compensate with my left eye yet, so
I’m still having to be careful with depth, etc
(weird……my left eye is so nearsighted while my right eye is
more far-sighted….hope my brain catches up soon!).
Not much pain…..just a little achy and starting to
get a little headache……….but what a small price
to pay! (Of course, it will take me forever to pay
off my 20% in actual dollars!…..but again, what a
small price to pay.) My left eye also has a cataract
but not grown enough to remove……so eventually
that one will have to be taken care….but next time I
will know what to expect! If anyone is putting off the
surgery out of fear, I highly recommend it!!!

figgypie: I am so happy for you!!! I live in dire
fear of losing my eyesight, even though the
optometrist has said my eyes show no sign of diabetes damage.
I do have the start of cataracts on both eyes
though, but that is from age not diabetes, and he isn’t
worried about them. Says it will be years and years
before anything will need to be done! I am glad you
posted this information, it will calm my
fears.<br
