Hello Yvonne:
Well, I almost had the experience last September but I panicked just
before the procedure and the rest is history. I will be trying it again this
summer, I guess. I told him not until after my Son's wedding, so I have
to go in June to answer all the questions again, etc., etc. I don't know if
it works the same in other Countries with the 2 types of drops you put in
your eyes 2 days before the surgery and afterward until they are gone plus
another bottle of drops after also. It will be my left eye first. I sure hope
that it doesn't cause any of us to have retinopathy to appear or macular
swelling. That wouldn't be nice at all.
My Dad had his done but he wasn't a Diabetic. His left one turned out
good but the right one stayed a bit blurry, he said. Maybe his being 77 yrs.
had something to do with that. He was also on Prednisone for RA which did
raise his sugars some. He was tested and the Doc said he wasn't Diabetic.
Mick, Belinda and Erica(and probably many more)from this Forum had their
cataracts removed and they said it was easy and it went well. I'm a CHICKEN
when it comes to my eyes, I guess. I thought it was frightening. I'm not
complaining much about my vision, it's my Doctors who want me to get it done
and over with.
Prayers and best wishes for you on your BIG DAY soon. Try not to be
TOO scared. You will do fine.
My Mom is getting hers done in September so she's hoping I'll be going first
to see how it goes for me. How weird is that??
She has a different Eye Doctor.
She is not a Diabetic either. I'm getting knocked out this time.
I'm so brave. She's
having a local. Gee, there are sure alot of people getting cataracts removed and yes,
most are successful, thankfully.
