I underwent cataract surgery yesterday and it was less of a hassle than
the lasik surgery I had seven or eight years ago.

My right eye was the problem (of course - the problems are always on the
right!), and in 15 minutes, I was semi-out from anesthesia, the doc opened
up my eye, removed "the cloud" and put in the plastic replacement.

Your right eye was clouded all this time? No wonder you had difficulty
seeing the "right" side of the issues.

Indeed. I can see clearly now; the right side of the issues is completely
distorted!


Distorted? You need a new eye doctor. They should be clear as day to you
now.

Ah, the dentist is now an eye expert, eh?
From www.prk.com
It's normal to feel itching and mild discomfort for a while after
cataract surgery. Some fluid discharge is also common, and your eye may
be sensitive to light and touch. If you have discomfort, your eye
doctor may suggest a pain reliever. After 1-2 days, even moderate
discomfort should disappear. In most cases, healing will take about 6
weeks.

Some common problems can occur after surgery. These may include
increased pressure, blurring from swelling, inflammation (pain,
redness, swelling), and sometimes bleeding. More rare and serious
problems include infection, loss of vision, or light flashes. If you
experience increasing pain or a worsening of vision after surgery, you
should contact your eye doctor.

Hmm. Maybe it's your left eye that needs to catch up!

Nah, seriously. I'm glad there have been so many advances made in ths
procedure.

My grandfather had double eye surgery in the mid-60's, Thats when they
totally cut out the lens of the eye during a three hr. surgery. and
from then on out, he had to wear "coke bottle" glass's.

It was a real pain for him to see, bbut it was all the technology they
had at the moment.

I'm glad things are different now, and hop you have a good recovery,
Harry.

Seems to me mom was advised not to bend over too far forward for a day
or two. Can't remember why... maybe the new plastic lens could become
dislodged. (and of course...no rubbing the eye)

Hmmm. So far, the only side effects I've experienced are hair growth on
the top of my head, and 2" more where it counts.

My Dad passed away 35 years ago. What a terrible thing to go through. It
took my Mom a good 3 years to get back to near normal. My 2 little sisters
were only 14 and 17 years old when Dad died. I was 20 but still had a
tough time getting through it. Like you, I still remember the good times my
dad and I had, including fishing and hunting (rabbit and pheasant).

Paul Peterson's song "My Dad" (from Donna Reed Show, 1962) still brings me
to tears when I hear it. http://www.brownielocks.com/mydad.html

Sorry to hear that both of you lost your Dad's. :-(

My Mom died last year and I only have 6 surviving aunts and uncles out of a
total of 18. We are all getting older.

mmmm.. maybe if Bert had both eyes done, he would be about 2/3rds
average size. Something to think about.

Don, this is amazing. Harry is talking about the successful eye surgery
he had and all you can do is to throw a barb my way.

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts!

43 years for me and I'm only 52. The best memories were the
boat rides in the 16' Thompson. It was real close to this one;

with one of these hanging out back.
