I had cataracts in both eyes, so it was finally time to consider laser surgery. My wife had hers done over a month ago, and I had my right eye done yesterday. The actual operation was straightforward. I was awake the whole time. After the operation, vision in the right eye wasn't very good, but it was a new lens and you don't have perfect vision immediately after surgery. It was like I was looking through a grayish veil, and everything was blurry. I also had an irritation like grains of sand were under my eye lid. I decided to rest my eye and nap on our recliner. I essentially slept on and off from 2PM yesterday to 6AM this morning. Today, no more graininess, no grayish film, and my right eyesight throughout the day today has gotten better to the point where I can actually see my computer screen. Early this morning, I couldn't do that. If I covered my right eye with the new lens, I could see my screen well enough to use it but the right eye was blurry. Now, my vision is better than the left eye. So I'm anxious to get my left eye done next Monday.
I've noticed that with the new lens in my right eye that everything is brighter, colors are more real and crisp (purple is now purple and not grayish purple). If anyone is considering cateract surgery (traditional or laser), I definitely recommend it. Laser isn't cheap, but both my wife and I like how fast it is and no knife involved. LOL. Seems like most people nowadays go for laser.
Merry Christmas everyone! Have a blessed Christmas tomorrow with family and friends. It's all about Christ and His great gift to all.
