Cataract surgery...what was your experience?

On topic: I had cataract surgery on my one useable eye last year, and the most noticeable difference was the color spectrums that had been off and I never realized it.

I have a UV type diode laser that use to appear blueish white to me...it actually looks violet now. I always thought it was the laser but nope...just my eye.

I guess Igor is paying for op's eye surgery. And no, I don't want to know what op has to do for Igor.

I'll take it...I can always take a long hot shower (and charge him for watching) later.

Had my right eye done on Tuesday. Had the post-op exam on Wednesday, in the brief eye exam they gave me...20/20 in the "new" eye. Haven't had that in over 30 years. The biggest surprise for me is the difference in color perception. From the right eye, white things look clear, crisp, and white...from the left eye, fuzzy, dingy, and kind of tan-ish. It's almost like the difference between a 2700K incandescent bulb and a 5500K LED bulb. Maybe 40 years of cigarette smoking stained the lens like it does the glass in your automobile... 😛
 
Color spectrums were the biggest or most noticeable difference after my surgery (as stated in post #33 above).

I was amazed at just how 'off' it was and I didn't realize it until I had it fixed.
 
I am looking at the light adjustable lens by RXsight. After the surgery they can adjust the power three times with a 30-90 second uv light treatment. When the patient is happy they lock in the prescription with a final uv light treatment.

I had that option…for $3500 per eye. ((and my Medicare advantage wouldn’t pay for it)
 
On the way to get the left eye roto-rootered... 😵
Hope the eye doc didn't get too blasted last night and has the shakes....

That was FUN! Last week, the anesthesiologist gave me a couple of valium...even though I told him Valium didn't work well for me. Today, he gave me some shit via IV. WOOHOO! I don't remember much of the surgery other than some odd visuals, but...WOW!

is that because you can see or the valium has you feeling GOOD? 😀
