Hi

Like other people here I have had my cataracts done. My advice to anyone contemplating surgery is GO FOR IT !!!

The procedure was a doddle - the local anaesthetic stung momentarily and after that I even found it quite pleasant and no pain at all. During the second one the Irish surgeon was singing Irish folk songs !!!

The aftercare has been described here and is a little inconvenient. Wearing a patch and then having ( in my case ) to have drops starting with four per day, reducing by one each week for four weeks.

No after effects and my long sight now brilliant. Just wear glasses for reading but much weaker lenses.

However after over a year I am finding that my middle sight is starting to slightly worsen but I need to book an appointment with my optician to have eye tests. Will be doing so next week.

I will report on results.

Cheers

Mike
