If anyone here has had a cataract operation, or an operation for glaucoma, please let me know what your experience was like. I'll be going under the knife soon.

No personal experience, Caleb, but my late step-grandmother did well with her cataract op and my parents have a few friends who've done well too. I hope it goes well for you đź‘Ť

Thanks for letting me know, Fliss. It is a standard operation, but I still worry because it is the first operation I have ever had. Also, my sight is so important to me.

Best of luck, Claeb. I believe a key thing is not bending over too soon after the surgery. It puts pressure on the eye?

Cheers,
John

You're welcome, Caleb. It's natural to worry; I've had a few operations, but I always worry about the next one. Best of luck to you. Do you have a date for it?

Not yet, Fliss. I'm seeing my eye doctor in two days, and we will schedule it.

Thank you, John.
