More eye problems
« on: April 01, 2023, 01:39:02 AM »
Well, the left eye pressure has remained stable but I am permanently 95% blind in it. No problem, I still have my right eye right ? My ophthalmologist informed me today I have the beginning of a cataract in my right eye. F me. I know cataract surgery is very straight forward now but still.....

Not good news Steve. I hope that if the cataract gets worse you will be able to get it operated on quickly and successfully.

Sorry to hear that too Steve,

Getting old’s a bummer.

Best of luck,

Hi Steve,

had this surgery two yeas ago, I was very afraid of it and it turned out absolutely well.
Afterwards I was surprised how light and and how blue the world was! Had the other eye
done about half a year later, and the little coward asked for it!

No reason to worry.

All the best Joachim

I had a 'map dot fingerprint dystrophy' which gave me a blurry right eye and was advised surgery was necessary - which I did not look forward to. However, a painless operation and a couple of days of minor discomfort later, my eye was back to 100% of its previous vision.
Terrible about your left eye, but an op on the right eye, if needed, will be nothing to worry about, I'm sure.
Hang in there, mate.

Steve

Cataract surgery is your friend, I had both eyes done a couple years ago and no longer need glasses It was painless and the results were spectacular,

All the best to you

Oh, I really feel for you and the loss of eyesight!
Of course a cataract operation becomes a bigger worry when you only have one good, but statistics are in your favour here. It shouldn't be anything but a success.

Best whishes!

Thanks for the positivity. It's what I need. For some reason while they were doing surgery on the left eye they did the cataract procedure as well, not sure why because as I said I cant see out of it! $$$ me thinks
