Carol....I have had cataract removal and lens implants in both eyes. I waited as long as I could stand it...until they were 'ripe' as one doc put it. (They want to have as much to get hold of as possible...makes the operation easier.)

I had one done 4 yeas ago and the 2nd last year...and the worst time was the 2+ years in between, as I had to keep changing prescriptions in glasses and the difference in object size between my eyes kept getting worse. Made my brain sore trying to reconcile it!

It is 'mostly' better....right eyes is better than since I was 12 years old, and left one has a few what are called 'floaters'...nuisance pieces of protein that bobble about and make little blurry spots temporarily. But is is BETTER to have this done than not! And the implants used are as close to neutral and irrelevant to body chemistry as possible.

Just see a GOOD opthalmoligst and have all the tests and evaluations done....it is totally amazing what can be done these days!
