So I had the first cataract surgery done last Monday, Feb. 5. It went very well. I'm already seeing a difference! I don't even wear my glasses because now they make me see double. One eye is almost completely far-sighted, and the eye that still has the cataracts is near-sighted.
They put a lot of drops in your eye to dilate it, plus stuff to make you not feel anything. A little valium, too. Thought I'd be 'out,' but I was awake. Felt fine going home. A little sore but not bad. I have to take drops for a few weeks and wear dark glasses outside. Also, an eye shield at night.
It is going to be great to be able to see clearly!
