Hi Nuts!!! I'm feeling fine but I have to get used to my "new vision", its as if I'm looking through a veil. I can't read the screen too well, I think I need stronger reading glasses. Its a pain to take the glasses off and then put them on. When the 3 months are over, I'm going to demand bifocals again even if it means the top of the glasses are just clear lens. Probably won't be here as much until my vision settles down. good you are feeling fine!  and understand, keep us updated if you can. |

I've had both my eyes done for cataracts some years ago. Months, not weeks, apart. Still had to do the multi-drop thing. And instead of buying reading glasses from the doctor, HE told me to go to the dollar store and get some magnifiers until my eyes settled down. That sounds like an awful lot of expense. AND the doctor nicked a blood vessel? Was he new??? Hope you're feeling better and that everything goes well. Thoughts from Canada. The surgeon that did the cataract surgery is the best in the area, a nicked blood vessel in the eye isn't a big deal, it healed in 5 days. When I fell and hit my head on concrete in March, I broke several blood vessels in both eyes and I had really bad black eyes, I even had to postpone my appointment with the specialist for 3 weeks until my black eyes healed enough for him to examine them and he had to wait until June to do the surgery because the surgery center was shut down for 2 months due to the pandemic. My right eye has healed and the left eye is doing well, I saw my regular eye doctor today and got reading glasses - I told him I refuse to shop at Dollar Tree or WalMart during the pandemic, too many maskless people coughing on everyone and spitting on the floor. The reading glasses were only $14.95. After my eyes have totally settled down, if I don't need bifocals, I'm going to get prescription reading glasses, I read a lot. I'm even thinking of having progressive bifocals with clear lenses on top and the prescription glass on the bottom. I wish they still made the half moon reading glasses. Oh, that's good to hear. They didn't set your cataracts for distance? When I had mine done, they asked me if I drove and so, for the first time in my life, I can see FAR. When I did my eye chart with my left eye, all I could see were the top 2 lines with the big E. Yes I got magnifiers from the dollar store and I have prescription glasses for work where I'm on the computer a lot of the time. i'm sorry about your fall. that must have been awful. But glad that you are all better now!👓🕶😎🎉 |

I didn't think you had a choice in the matter, everyone I know that has had cataract surgery told me that they can see distance without glasses but everyone needed reading glasses. I've been experimenting with different strengths of reading glasses. |
