Two days post surgery and everything is fab!! I definitely need to sort out new spectacles as I can currently see perfectly without specs in the right eye and perfectly WITH specs in the left. It’s all gone a bit wonky!
The procedure itself was slightly alarming. Lots of ‘look to the light please’ and general flushing and swirling but no pain, just a little pinch which is when I’m assuming my original lens was removed.
As to the cause of the cataracts? Well, it’s certainly not age related (I’m 54). It could be the diabetes but it’s just as likely to be a head injury I had many, many years ago aged 9. I will never know, I’m just pleased the first eye is done. I’m not sure how long I will have to wait for the left eye but that’s OK, I can still see perfectly OK through that one 🙂
Piccie is the day of surgery
