Cataracts

[w5wjp]

I have cataracts in both eyes but the left one is not bad enough for surgery. At my last annual, the right eye vision was down considerably. The cataract had grown enough to start interfering.

So about a month ago, I got my first bionic eye. Surgery was on a Friday and Saturday morning had a follow-up appointment. Vision was back to 20/20 in 24 hours. No more glare on the right side, colors are much, much brighter. At one week check-up, vision was still 20/20. The doc asked if I was memorizing the chart. Doing all the drops is a real pain in the you know where. This drop 4x a day, this one 3x a day, that one 2x a day, etc. You need a computer just to keep up with which one when. Only have about 2 weeks left on the drops.

All in all, I'd do it again in a heart beat. No pain, minor discomfort and great vision afterwards.

Congrats, Bill. (Who turned the lights on, huh? :) )

I had the same experience and would also encourage anyone who is nervous regarding this surgery to go for it.

I had both eyes done back in 2006 and it has been amazing to not have to wear glasses any more.I wore glasses for 31 years prior.I now have 20/15 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye.So I say to you to enjoy that new vision.I know I am.
