Getting the lens implant ?
My neighbor just had it done to one eye. Claims he doesn’t need glasses on that one.
Will be thinking of you.

I just had cataract surgery on both eyes and can now see without glasses. The surgery was a piece of cake and I noticed a dramatic improvment. The only problem was when I only had one eye that was corrected, it made it difficult to see out of both eyes. I opted for the simple lenses so I will need reading glasses but it was much cheaper that way.

Best of luck!

Doctor told me I can get decent long range vision, will need reading glasses.

I'll take what I can get, LOL

Reading glasses is no big deal. Count your blessings, and good luck!

I’ll certainly pray for you, SWAMPSNIPER. My dad wished he had gotten his done earlier. It was quick and direct, he had no complications and it was a major improvement. That was fifteen years ago, and the techniques have only improved. Our physicians and medical people are a marvel, and I thank God for them every day.

That said, no procedure is fun, and you will have our prayers for your comfort, success, and swift recovery.

Best of wishes. If you are having a simple lens replacement with no other issues, the operation is very easy and quick. You will see amazingly better almost immediately.
