Unbelievable!

I am referring to the coincidence of seeing things about cataract surgery here for the first time. I go tomorrow up in Ontario, Canada. Left eye only. The trials of driving into bright sunshine and then in the dark had me worried. Ok, I am 84 and love my Mini-Van. It is imperative for me to get the surgery. I go for a very searching review next year as an older driver.

The die is cast and I will go through with it. I am near sighted. I have trouble reading now because of the cataract. I hope to be excused putting this question up and should really have got by mail to you.....

My two day preparation with three small containers needs four drops per day from each. Then spread over four weeks still continuing with the drops. It has driven me scatty cos' I am a bad aimer. My wife reluctantly agreed to put the drops in. Just wondered about the preparation in the USA. Is this what has to be done?

Yes, it sounds the same. The anxiety about the operation is worse than the op. Its about a 20 minute no pain job. Take care of the eye for the next 2 weeks and its over.
