Pre-surgery the nurse said to me, "You will love seeing the color White again". I wondered what she was talking about, I could see white. Immediately afterward, I realized I had been seeing yellow for years and presumed that I was seeing white. I also got driven home on an autumn day and saw the real colors of fall leaves for the first time in years. Amazing !!!.

I've needed, someone ironically, +1.75 readers after surgery. Ironically, as that was the power of my readers before. What I wasn't prepared for when the first eye was done was seeing blue again when looking at the sky. Later, noticing that I could see some odd shades of violet never saw before. Apparently around 1% of those who have their natural lens removed can see into UV a bit. LizardMane, cataracts can occur at any age, depending upon the cause. Mine were trauma induced, one being removed in 2009, the other removed a couple of months ago. The 2009 surgery eye needing laser treatment for an opacified lens capsule in 2017 and I anticipate the eye done this year needing laser treatment much sooner

If you can get I surgery to see better, don't wait. The worst of it is the anticipation. I felt no pain at all whatsoever. I could see the same day and it just got better. Its amazing.

I have just had my second cataract surgery on my left eye only last week. My right eye was done barely 3 months previously. I has made an outstanding difference to the quality of my sight. I no longer need glasses and its like looking in full High definition and full colour. The hardest bit is keeping up with the regime of eye drops particularly the first few weeks but it is easy enough to make a note of each time of taking them. As for the surgery itself again no problem no discomfort and no pain. As all other invasive surgery they all come with risks but from being borderline of having my driving licence withdrawn to 20-20 vision I would gladly have it done again if it was required. Go for it.

I just had cataract surgeries in December on both eyes, the left one was the 1st, which the doctor said I was considered legally blind, after the surgery it was like being reborn again, it was so clear and vibrant, I opted for the multi focus optical lenses, because I didn't want to wear glasses again, since I've been wearing glasses since age 5 years old, which were more expensive, but I was happy to not have to wear glasses again except maybe for reading glasses. The procedure was probably 30 minutes at the most, it was the preparation that took some time, I was out of the hospital in an hour. The right eye was the same procedure, but it wasn't as bad as the left eye. I highly recommend going to the eye doctor if you experience cloudiness so bad you can't properly see, because it's worth being able to see again. Don't put it off like I did.

FYI for anybody contemplating cataract surgery: you get to select whether you want good distant vision or good close up vision. There is, however, another option. If you want both close and distant vision, those lenses are not covered by Medicare, so I was out of pocket $6300 for these lenses. Thus, I know what it's like to select the lenses that supposedly give you both near and far vision and I can tell you folks from experience...don't do it. You won't be happy even after putting out a lot of money. I can see very well in distant vision, but for close up I still have to wear reading glasses. It's not worth the extra several thousands of dollars.

Thankyou for answering several questions

In 2010 I had both of my eyes treated for cataracts. For some 40 years I was very nearsighted and had worn both contact lens and glasses for correction. This all changed when I began a new relationship with one of the foremost opthomologists in the Orlando area of Central Florida. Each eye corrective surgery was a week apart and was done at an outpatient facility and both eyes were numbed using numbing eye drops leading to the ultimate procedure. The entire procedure lasted less than 30 minutes per eye and I returned home and rested the balance of the day. My vision prior to the eye surgery was 20 / 1000 and after the surgery returned to 20/20 where it has remained for the last 12 years. I had my vision corrected for distance vision so I now wear inexpensive readers. The entire procedure was painless, effective and permanent. I did need the additional YAG laser procedure but that corrected the haze that this doctor discussed. That too worked fine and was quick and painless.

Thanks for the great info in preparing for my surgery.

I had my right eye done just 12 days ago, on Sept. 16, and it's amazing how much all the colors around me are so bright and clear now. The surgery itself took only about 6 minutes---pre-op took far longer, but I appreciate all the extreme care and caution the entire O.R. staff took (and will take again in six weeks when the left eye will be done) to make sure the correct eye was being done on the correct patient (I'm a retired unit clerk and nurse aide, so I do know the importance of getting the right patient in the right place with the right surgery!) None of the things mentioned in this video were done---my surgeon put a timed-release antibiotic under the upper eyelid, and said that it would release slowly and fully over the course of about 3 weeks. He does that so his patients don't have to mess around with eyedrops, which consideration I very much appreciate. I have an excellent optometrist who is doing the post-op care, and she is quite certain that I'll be just fine without prescription glasses for at least a few years. At my advanced age, that's fine with me---if I can go to my grave (cremation) without having to wear prescription glasses, that will be a joyous thing.

Thanks for this video on what happens and what to expect in the procedures for cataracts. I go to my eye doctor in a couple of weeks for my checkup to see what he has to say about my eyes. I know they are changing. Thank you and take care.

Had it done at 61, it was no big thing,had to get it done to lower eye pressure for my gucoma can see better now thanks

9 days after left eye cataract surgery the film that you noted may form is what seems to be happening now. Different from one year ago when the right eye cataract surgery stayed pin point clear. Thank you for your information and reasurence. I will be re-visiting my optometrist this next week.

Had surgery yesterday. 24 hours of a polar bear in a snow storm. Complete white out. Vision is gradually coming into focus. Doc said may be 5 days for a start. I can see this video now with my new lens. Not bad with readers. Through a pinhole in pinhole glasses I can view my cataracts, now, the new eye is clear there, yay. Just gotta give it more time.

I just had both eyes down with basic since many people I know were saying it’s the same .I have one friend that paid for the higher price ones and her husband got the basic and she stil has to wear reading glasses which is no big deal but why pay all that money when it’s the same I got the basic then and love how bright and clear everything is! Couldn’t be happier !

Thank you for this information. I had surgery on my right eye week before last, and later this week will be the other. The scratchy feeling is definitely something that went along with this procedure. The information you gave that was really helpful is the 6 month time after surgery about the eye may get cloudy. I did not know that. And for anyone that is getting ready to have this surgery, don’t fret. The Lord brought you to it, and He will get you through it! Peace everyone!

One thing that wasn't mentioned in this video, don't know if it's common or not: I had slight blurriness following the surgery but it cleared up when I woke up the day after. I was forewarned by the surgeon that this would happen. It wasn't severe in my case; I was still able to use my computer and my phone.

I just had the surgery in both eyes two months ago. Having my teeth cleaned was more uncomfortable that the surgery. Absolutely no pain. The problem now is everything is a bit blurry but I'm getting new glasses this week and hope that problem goes away. One of the new lenses is getting that film that you talked about, my doctor compared it to scar tissue. She said if it doesn't clear up in a few months I would have the laser treatment and that it would not come back. Hope for the best.

I don’t want to use reading glasses and don’t care to see far. Just want that annoying smudge out of my right eye. Seems like people are super happy with long distance vision, just hope it doesn’t screw up my near distance vision…I’d rather have that bc I have children at home and we like to build things and I don’t want to be reaching for glasses just to use my phone or cut paper. My near sight is top priority. I hope my doc got that loud and clear that I don’t want my long distance fix, just clear lens and wear glasses for driving…that’s it.

I just had cataract surgery on May 3. In & out in 2 hours. Most of that time was prepping, (info & putting eye drops to prep for the surgery. I felt so cared for. Surgery took no more than 20 min for me. Dr told me I had the worst cataract in that eye. Gave me drops to take 3 x"s a day. It's been 12 days & no problem at all. I can see so clear that its like someone turned a light on. Follow up visit was the next morning. I passed the eye chart for that eye. (Well I missed one letter so she gave me an eye score of 25.) Colors are so much brighter. And oh so clear. Im going for the right eye this Monday morning, May 17. Im just sorry I waited so long to do this. And that's my story. Thank you Jesus. 💘

Excellent video. I had both eyes done and the surgery was very simple and straight forward, and pain free. Vision is greatly improved, however, i am dealing with extreme light sensitivity now for about a month. It's odd, as it varies in intensity depending upon the situation, but has remained for a while. Slight improvement after about a month and i am hoping it improves some more.

Sometimes we notice that certain types of cataracts causes a yellowish-brown tint to the lens that acts sort of like sunglasses, so when they are removed and a clear lens replaces them, then all of the sudden we are getting full light exposure, which can take a while to adjust. Keep those sunglasses on you just in case!

I had cergery June will be two years, the retna doc. Said I have a leacage, or swelling in the back of the eye.on the right eye , I get a needle every six weeks. Very light sensitive, don't due any thing for my vision. I feel it's like a asemibly line. He has six offices.

I had my cataract surgery 2-1/4 years ago. The whole procedure went great and as stated in the video. The doctors, nurses, and I were talking through each surgery. In fact, about a week after my first eye was done, I was champing at the bit to get in and get the 2nd one done. I had a choice of the eye drops I was to take after the surgery. If I opted for the single combination drops, it would cost me $70 out of pocket. So, I opted to take the different drops. That was annoying to say the least. When I got my other eye done, I took the combo drops. I recently had my 2nd annual checkup. 20/20 and I couldn't be happier. The doctor was so pleased that I won't go in for another examination for 2 years. BTW, I opted for far vision. Off the shelf reading glasses work great. When I'm driving in bright sunlight, off the shelf sunglasses are all I need.

I had surgery on my left eve on 3/3/20 and I was having problems seeing clearly, afterwards so when I went back a week later a checkup showed that I had swelling on my retina and that I would have to go out of town about 2 weeks later for some shots to reduce the swelling. In the meantime, the Covid was just getting going full swing and I cancelled my trip because I was afraid to catch it at my age of 84. I finally received my vaccinations in Jan. & Feb. 2021, but then my son developed a terminal cancer and I had to take care of him until he passed away in June 2021. By the time I was able to get back for a checkup, it was too late to do anything about my Left retina and because of scheduling, it was 12/7/21 before I could get the surgery on my Right Eye and I am not happy with the results because everything I look at is distorted and when I look at a vertical line, like a door edge, there seem to be bulges that are not really there. Hopefully this can be corrected, but my hopes are not too high.

@TrueFocusEyeCare

Unfortunately, the longer swelling within the retina remains, the harder it is to return it back to normal. Let's hope it can be reduced with treatment. Sometime if caught early enough, it can be reduced simply with drops.
