Just had cataract surgery

[CalebPerry]

I had cataract surgery on my right eye this morning. The lens had clouded up, and much of my visual field looked like it had cotton in it.

I asked the surgeon to give me clear near vision to make it easier to work at my computer. He did, but as it hasn't even been a day since the surgery, the visual field is a little blurry. I'm not only seeing halos, I'm seeing ghosting.

Has anyone here had cataract surgery? If so, how long did it take your eye to heal up?

My brother-in-law's eyes took a week to heal. He is very happy with his sight now. It is far better than it was.

Caleb, be careful not to bend over too much too soon. A cautionary tale.

Best of luck with your recovery!

Cheers,
John

Thanks for your comments. Right now, more than a day after surgery, my eyesight has improved dramatically, and my right eye (which had the surgery) is now sharper and clearer than my left eye. The operation was a huge success. Not only that, it gave me a longer range of good focus than I expected it to. I'm on my way to see the surgeon, and I think I'll give him a kiss. (I didn't, but I thanked him profusely for his good work.)
