I was offered to do the cataract surgery, which I have but not bad and decided against it for fear of problems from surgery. After all, it is my eyes! Yet I know this surgery is quite commonly done with good results.
I just read where Bryan Kohberger has had problems with visual snow for years and it was making him quite upset. I don’t excuse the guy for his murderous rampage but point out imaging if one had visual problems to distraction like that, all the time, constant.
I feel sorry for this poor cop.
I had cataract surgery last year without the fancy laserbeam crap. Just a lens replacement.
My vision improved so much and my contrast is back like it should be. I couldn’t read the spedometer without back light or direct sunlight. Now it’s perfect. I also had an astigmatism. Now I only need 1.5 reading glasses and I can get by without them except for the smallest print.
My advice, skip the laser shit, that’s where all the problems are.
I have had both Lasik and more recently cataract surgery. I always suggest that you look for THE BEST surgeon in your area you can find. My consultations with my ophthalmologist before any surgery are super important. Ask for references and second opinions. I know it’s unlikely that you’re in my area, but if you are, I have the best guy for cataract surgery. He is extremely skilled. We also have a retinologist for my husband’s previous eye problems.
I don’t take my eyesight for granted at all. I’m one of the lucky few. I developed cataracts at a very young age. After removing the cataracts, he inserted permanent multi focal lens in each eye. I now have perfect vision for close, medium, and far distances without glasses. It’s been a godsend for me.
I had cataract surgery in one eye 10 years ago. I can not believe how good the vision is from the artificial lens. But my other eye is still does not qualify for cataract surgery. Why no cataracts in that eye at age 85?
I know someone who had horrible pain after Lasik surgery.
He’s better now but he said it was awful and he’d never do it again.
I have heard of other complications as well.
