It's outpatient procedure.
Had one in one eye. Doctor removed it and part of the retina. Patched the retina with something from a petri dish I guess.
No discomfort at all. Wore an eye patch for a few days to prevent rubbing the eye in my sleep.
I've always had sensitivity to light, all my life. Night vision is excellent. Have to wear prescription sunglasses even at night.
Wife and I were walking one night in an HOA and in one really dark area I stopped and picked up some coins someone dropped. She still mentions it; "How could you see them in such darkness and wearing sunglasses?" Later I spotted a folded dollar bill under a bush about 2 feet from the edge of the sidewalk. At first she thought I was tricking her and already had the dollar in my hand until she handled it and realized it was a little damp from dew & had some tiny pieces of mulch stuck to it.

Cataracts with surgery etc today done right is a blessing the hope I can tell you is that when you wake up and start working the new eyes you have, you are going to understand that it is truly a glorious world out there. Ive got about 10 years now on one lense and its doing well. Showing it's age but doing well. Other eye will be worked on in time. But not any time soon.

SLAP! And then about a -10 degree temp inside the home a while.
Red Dress owes me about 4 weeks of loving among other things //sarcasm.
I kept telling her at the time the eyes were good. She didn't believe it.
Good thoughts aside, I recall learning from the good book once upon a childhood that we are to enjoy what we have in our life because the eyes are supposed to stop working and other things as well. We had a Maryland School for the Blind not far from us in Baltimore (Which is still there) which teaches the blind how to function in society.
I will have to get in touch with them and visit sometime> I wondered how a blind person navigates say a flat screen touch phone... The reason we associated with them is because the State is pleased to ship them to the State Deaf school for us to deal with and learn or teach them sign language. You sink or swim by being with deaf people for a while.
I rather have the surgery.buddyd157 Thanks this. -

I simply pull hearing aid out rattle it, haul out the ginormous notepad from the pocket, click a pen and say write down what you were trying to say please.
THAT cuts down seriously on the stupid questioning.
I don't mind questions. But when they become broken record stupid then I get abrasive. For example.
"What eye are we fixing today?"
This one. *Points
"That the correct eye to work on today?"
Lady what part of work on this eye don't you understand?
(Don't you understand was the phrase I used most common with dispatchers, traffic mangers and especially cranky dock people. I find it easier to say that and get a result moving forward than to curse them out)
Room chills -50 but I got my peace then.buddyd157 Thanks this.
