Default My New Eyes
Two weeks ago, I had cataract surgery and a long-vision lens implanted in my left eye. That gave me 20/20 vision.

This morning, I had surgery on my right eye, with a near-vision lens implanted after that cataract was removed. My vision is totally blurry in my right eye, so I'm typing with just one eye open. This should clear up in two days. So far, no pain whatsoever.

Bioptic, I believe is what they call this. I keep calling them my new eyes. Hopefully, glasses will be a thing of the past!


I'll let you know in a couple of days if it worked.

Maryann! I hope your "new eyes" heal quickly and give you the perfect vision you need. I plan to share your story with my mom. She is 71 and cataracts are becoming a problem for her. She's been chicken about surgery.

OK everyone behave, Momma's got a new set of eyes watching us!

WooHoo for the new left eye with 20/20 and hope for the new right eye, for the same.

I'm jealous....no glasses.

That is really great news. Wishing for you a speedy and complete recovery with your 2nd new eye!

My mom had cataract surgery on both eyes last year. I am so happy for her that it improved her vision greatly.

Great news, Maryann! I hope that blurry eye clears up right away.

Sounds like you're really going to enjoy your new eyes!
