remove old cataract lenses, and replace with ocular standard lenses, I see very well and recommend to others
Hmmm, was scheduled for cataract surgery this past Tuesday, and was very nervous about the procedure.
However, had to cancel when I came down with a nasty cold on Monday. Coincidence?

I had this Cataract Surgery done back in 2015, first was the Right Eye then a few weeks later the Left Eye was done. I was very worried about this operation, however it was great, no pain, no issues. In April of this year I had a Posterior Capsulotomy (YAG LASER) procedure done on my Left Eye. The back part of the eye lens sack was a bit cloudy, this Laser procedure was even more easy than the Cataract operation. If you or someone close to you need this operation, go ASAP, it is easy and will make your life a lot better.

Glad it worked out for you. My father’s also worked out well, and that was a long time ago. A relative had the surgery done last year. Before it she had perfect near vision, now she has still good distance vision but no near vision. Even with bifocals she has difficulty reading. She was offered no explanation for this.

Not to scare anyone, but one of the side effects of cataract surgery is retinal detachment.
I know...personally.
I had a detachment within 30 days of surgery.
Successfully fixed by a wonderful eye surgeon, but there is a distortion spot on my field of vision that they cannot do anything with.
Doctors reviewed my history and attributed the detachments to previous TBI's and a history of boxing as a very young man.
Whatever the history...the fact remains.
I had cataract surgery, then had a retinal detachment.
Draw your own conclusions, but if you have a history of TBI and/or heavy contact sports, even in your youth...make sure your eye doctor is aware of it.

I am glad your surgeries went well for you, and the others. However, unfortunately, it does not go well for all.

A few years ago, the eye dr was talking that I was about ready for cataracts done.
I just didn’t want to take any chances and ran away.
Looked around for another way. Found EXPENSIVE drops.
Well, not THAT expensive.
Been doing for few years now, and can say, much improved. Yes
Anyone interested, PM me.
