my cousin had both eyes done this year , he said who's old hands are these when he looked at his hands for the first time , make you wonder how much else he was missing
my dad has had both done , they numb you some how he said it didn't hurt
they say you should be more careful afterwards and wear safety glasses when hunting a twig in the eye could always mess things up but worse once they have worked on your eyes.

My wife had one eye done a few years ago.last year the lens slipped down in that eye.They redid that eye and also removed the cataract from her other eye. She had very little pain and now doesn't need her prescription glasses.She does use readers for reading,and that's all. She is very happy with the results.So if she is happy--so am I. Tom

Oh yah I can see and colors popped right after done and the protective cover was removed. The nurse puts stuff in my eye to take the pain away and away the doctor went. The worst part is the time leading up to the surgery, (mind monsters)...LOL I had my right eye done and need the left done. After the right ws done I had a test and my left eye improved.
BTW I was awake the whole time.

I had the surgery about 4 years ago. It wasn’t cataract surgery but they did remove the lens and put in a implant. They will knock you out to numb your eye. You’ll come to after a little bit and they rolled me back. I remember the dr. rolling the machine over so he could look through it and that’s all I remember. I remember waking up when he was almost done and it looked like drops of water going in my eye. I had my wife drive me home we stopped and ate and when I got home I slept the rest of the day. I wish I had it fixed earlier in my life. I went from 20/80 in my left eye with glasses to 20/30 without and 20/25 with.

Putting in drops is a pain in the back side other wise a walk in the park. The only problem is have are star burst from bright lights. I need more light and I did years ago. I now use LED natural lite bulb.

I helped my cousin this November and December getting both eyes done. No pain. Just a little dull ache a day or so later.
He is 80 years old. He had Glaucoma and it was at a point he couldn't drive safely. Good to go now.

Just don’t look it up on them doing the surgery you will be fine. TRUTH! I had both eyes done about 16 years ago. Watched a video prior....Big mistake. Easy peasy though. I had polarized lenses put in.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
