don watson Posted January 21, 2023 Report Posted January 21, 2023 Hi All, Had cataract surgery/removal on my right eye yesterday and it went well, at least the surgeon is pleased with it. Still a bit sore and I have a month of drops for the eye so won't be seeing too clearly for a while. The strange thing I have no covering for the and I have to leave it like that.

Scrappile Posted January 21, 2023 Report Posted January 21, 2023 Piece of cake and gave me a whole new outlook! danny, don watson and OCtoolguy 3 Quote
OCtoolguy Posted January 21, 2023 Report Posted January 21, 2023 I wore a eye patch for a week. No soreness at all. I highly recommend to anybody who may be having second thoughts. Only downside was losing my up close vision. I had great sight for reading etc. No glasses needed. don watson 1 Quote
Scrappile Posted January 21, 2023 Report Posted January 21, 2023 I only had to wear a patch for four hours. What a shock when I removed it. The world was bright! OCtoolguy, Scroll-N-Skydiver and don watson 3 Quote
jollyred Posted January 22, 2023 Report Posted January 22, 2023 I had to wear the patch overnight for a couple of days, guess each surgeon is a little different. Really helped my eyesight. I have worn glasses since 2nd grade, for near and far sight. Now I only need them for close work (less than arm length). Tom don watson and OCtoolguy 2 Quote
Dak0ta52 Posted January 22, 2023 Report Posted January 22, 2023 Speedy recovery, Don. I've heard many positive things about cataract surgery. Hopefully you won't even have to use corrective lenses. don watson and OCtoolguy 2 Quote
