Sept. 10th and 17th is the set date. A little apprehensive about this but my sight should improve quite a bit. Anyone else have this done?
My wife and I have both had this surgery with no problems at all.
Unfortunately for me, I now have a retina issue (film over the retina) that will require another surgery next year.
I only know one person who had trouble and they related it to their attempt to install one of the fancy bifocal lenses. Once they redid the procedure and put in the basic lense they were fine.
My wife elected to get the lenses that correct for astigmatism and she is very happy.
Pappy, I'll be away camping during your surgeries, and I have no personal experience, but I wish you well and hope your surgeries go smooth for you with good results. Will be thinking of you....hugs.Sept. 10th and 17th is the set date. A little apprehensive about this but my sight should improve quite a bit. Anyone else have this done?
I have cataracts but no appointments at this point. Best wishes for you on that Pappy!Sept. 10th and 17th is the set date. A little apprehensive about this but my sight should improve quite a bit. Anyone else have this done?
Pappy,
Try not to worry, let us do that for you!
My mother and stepfather both had them done, one eye at a time, with great results.
How will your date and recovery time work out with your travel back to Florida?
Prayers and healing thoughts to you and the Mrs.
I will be very interested in how this goes for you the wife of one of my Wed breakfast buddy's and it worked fine for her."Macular pucker (epiretinal membrane)"? I'm having surgery for that in late October. I'm really nervous about it, considering what they have to do. But I can't stand the distorted vision in my right eye any longer, so I'm finally having the surgery.
In my case, the right eye distorts all straight lines. If I look at a line of print with the right eye, it's extremely wavy. Same thing for all straight lines, horizontal and vertical. What's even worse, is that I see things closer (thus larger) with my right eye. They told me that eventually my left eye would take over, but that never happened. So, I have the constant "conflict" between the right and left eye and the brain doesn't know what to do. It's shot the heck out of my close-up depth perception. And the eye is blurry.I will be very interested in how this goes for you the wife of one of my Wed breakfast buddy's and it worked fine for her.
In my case, I have distortion and it looks like I am looking through a fog with my left eye. My right eye is perfect, but it is still a nuisance, especially when I am reading.
Please let me know how it goes.
Virtually nobody does surgeries if we can find another way.
