Thought it was about time to get my 75 year old eyes repaired. I had the cataract removed in my right eye yesterday. It will take a while for it to heal. Getting adjusted to living with the cloudiness in that eye will be a challenge.. Today's post-op check by the doctor said all went perfect. When this eye is back to normal, I plan on having the left eye done.
I will be stopping by as best I can with one eye working.

Glad to hear your doing well after the procedure.Do you think it will make a difference in your photographic endeavours?

Good for you! Had mine done a few years ago. First time I didn't need corrective lenses since I was six.

I have cataracts and floaters both. Just reading glasses here.
I hope the second one goes as well as the first Jonathan.

Thank you for the kind words and comments. I was able to see well enough to drive a short distance along the lake yesterday. Once I could find a few ducks in the camera viewfinder with my left eye, the focusing became automatic. At least I can continue camera birding. Jonathan

I had cataracts a few years ago and they replaced my eye lenses. No issues, except for needing reading glasses now. But it's nice waking up able to see.
I was surprised at how much cleaner and brighter everything looked, without the yellowish tint from the cataracts.
Had to pay $1k extra for a toric lens because of astigmatism.

I was lucky, only kid out of six that didn't need glasses, I had real good long distance vision, helped me be a good fox hunter When I was young I had no sunglasses, I been wearing Oakley's for 20+ years now, hope they help
