Eye Surgery
 

This coming Monday, Feb. lst. I am going to have cataract surgery
in my left eye.

This is also the eye that has been damaged by ON. The dr. said that
I will see better, but that I will still probably have to wear my glasses because of the damage by ON.

I am a little nervous about this. My DSIL had surgery done on her eye
many years ago, and went blind in the eye. Spoke with the dr. about my
feelings and he just feels that there most have been other complications with
her eye. WELL!! I have another problem with the eye.

"DO YOU THINK I AM JUST BEING A LITTLE TOO NERVOUS AND APPREHENSIVE ABOUT THIS"

How many of you have had cataract surgery. Did you have another problem with your eye also?

Jappy :(

My Mom had it at 75, with no complications and she could put her glasses away. :)

Gooluck and good wishes. :hug:

I have had surgery on both eyes. :):)

The only bad part is the prep where they keep putting in eye drops that burn. The surgery itself is not that bad at all.

The first surgery; I was really concerned about being awake and hearing and feeling everything but it was not bad at all so the second I was prepared for and it went just as good.

I went to work the next day with those lovely sunglasses on both times.

I wanted mono vision so I have a nearsighted eye and a farsighted eye so works out great and no glasses! :D

several of my neighbors have had it done. zip zip no issues. One doesnt even wear glasses anymore. My MIL had it done, as well as my mother. Both did just fine. I cant think of anyone that had a problem afterwards.

Nerves can be intense! hang in there. :hug:

Technique & equipment have improved over the years too, so if you have a good & skilled dr that you trust, you should be just fine.

I wish you the best and am optimist that you will do just fine. :hug:

Will be leaving in about 20 minutes for the surgery.

I figured I go on line now, because I don't think I will be on the rest
of the day.

Have a good day everyone.

Jappy :):)

our love and prayers go with you! be brave. we want to know what happens when you get back. :hug:

Praying for an excellent outcome for you, Jappy! Let us know how you're doing when you feel up to it. :hug:

wishing you a speedy recovery Jappy!:hug:

Good luck today, Jappy! :hug:

Love and Prayers for you. Hoping for a complete success and a speedy recovery. :hug::hug:

Thinking of you. Prayers for a succesful surgery. I have to take my Mom next Tuesday for the same surgery.

Praying that all goes well and that the song "I can see clearly now" is your new favorite song when you are recovered!

Thanks everyone for your well wishes.

Just got back from the dr. for day after checkup. Everything went great.

I can't believe how clear I am seeing out of this eye now. My glasses are
the progressive transition ones. I don't need the left side to see far, but I
need them to read still.

On Feb 22nd he is going to do the right eye, because that one also needed
to have the cataract removed. I guess after this happens, I will only need
glasses to read. That will be great :D

Jappy :hug:

YAY!!!

Did they do a lens implant too or just the cataract removal?
My ex had both eyes done with the cataract removal and the lens implants and he didn't even need glasses. He still couldn't drive but he could see! :p

YAYyyyyyy!!!! ((((((Jappy)))))):)

He did an implant. He was sort of worried how well I will see in
this eye, because the optic nerve was slightly scared when I had a
servere case of ON. I was so surprised how well I am seeing.

Can't wait now to get the other done, and that will also get
an implant.

Jappy :):)

Yahhhh for our Japster!! Glad everything went well.

Now, how many fingers am I holding up??? ((((Jappy))))
