Cataract Surgery went well
It all went well and I wasn't nervous.
I have to say I'm amazed!! Even though my vision is still a little blurry because of the eye drops I'm so excited. The dr didn't think he would be able to get that eye better than 20/100 with the surgery it's already at 20/40!!! The other thing I didn't expect was that I now have depth perception which I didn't have before. I've always had a lazy left eye. When I first took the patch off I was like "what's this??? Is this 3D???" Then discovered it's the first time I could see depth. I've been living in a flat world LOL. I can also feel both eyes working at the same time!!! I love it. It's going to take me a little time to adjust because it's like looking through the side car window where "items may be closer (or further away) then they seem".
But all in all I've a very happy camper :-) The next surgery (right eye) is Oct 10.

Carlie,
Glad you had such a good experience and results are better than anticipated . My visual revelation was that grass was individual blades, not a flat expanse of green.

Re: Cataract Surgery went well
Glad to hear! I know I need to have my left eye done. I just keep thinking about letting someone cut into my eye and then put it off. One of these days I will suck it up ...
