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 had cataract surgery in both eyes last year. I had the same result that you did. I did pay the extra to go to a laser eye surgeryu place that does 30,000 a year. I was not going to my local hospital and just let the basic medicare cover it.
“My advice, skip the laser shit, that’s where all the problems are”
Ditto that!
About 5 years ago had bilateral cataract surgery two weeks apart. Couple years later dry AMD was discovered and with my luck soon went to wet AMD. Treaatment is eye injections with what is essentially an anti cancer drug. Both eyes at differnt intervals depending on progress. Last fall suddenly went black blind in left eye. ER said detached retina, a known hazard of the injections. “Conservative” attempts to repair involved a lot of laser work. LASER WAS HORRIBLE!! Like 110V jolts to the back of the eye! Would be extremely effective means of extracting information. Attempt failed and had to go to full vitrectomy surgery which sucks the vitreous humor out of eyeball and replaces it with a gas bubble. Bubble gradually goes away and eye refills with aqueous humor.
These are age related problems so if you don’t want them just don’t age! Okie is right.,. F ANY laser procedures unless absolutely necessary.
The good news out of all this shit is I’m 20/30 both eyes with only a little left eye peripheral vision “graying” thanks to laser burns on retina. Will be 85 next month. Good luck to y’all and don’t get these problems!
