We live in a wonderful age, despite Obama.
My Great Grandfather was Blinded by Cataracts and there was nothing to be done back then.
My Late Aunt contracted Glaucoma in her late Teens.
She was completely Blind by Age 23. They could do nothing for Her except ask her if she wanted her Eyes removed because of the Pain. Thankfully she declined.
I think it was a decade later when they developed Treatment for Glaucoma. There still is no cure, but they can delay it.
Prayers for you bro. UC Davis Medical Center by any chance?
I had both eyes done in May. Had multifocal implants. Piece of cake. Starting the IV was the worst part.
It’s a piece of cake. I was a little worried about my cataract surgery until I went through the procedure on the first one.
I was in the operating room for less time than I spent in the waiting room of the doctor’s office. Recovery takes a few days for careful healing, but it’s nothing.
I opted for the long distance vision lens and now have vision that is better than 20/20. The doctor says my vision is good enough to be a Marine sniper.
I wish now I had taken the option for a lens that is graduated and gives both near and far vision. But at the time, the doctor said they were still too new and might be less effective than taking one option over another.
Prayers that it all goes well for you.
Out of surgery wearing a very rakish eyepatch, but not, unfortunately in black pirate leather. Instead I have a high tech aluminum sieve patch which from my view point is Scotty’s transparent aluminum. Eye is a bit scratchy and itchy, but tolerable.
Thanks for all your prayers and comments. They’ve helped a lot! I’ll keep you posted!
Prayed for you just now. I’ll pray for you again tonight.
If it be God’s will, I want your eye sight totally healed and restored and the surgery to be blessed. I asked Jesus to be in the room with you. You invite Him in, too.
