Just to say that I had my cataract surgery on Wednesday and all went well!! Thank you for all your reassurances and good wishes that I received when I posted a few weeks ago saying ‘That I was terrified!’ I had a wonderful team looking after me in hospice and their expertise, kindness and reassurance put me at ease
Thank you once again to all my forum friends! You are wonderful!!x
Regards Lynne
Sorry it was meant to read hospital NOT hospice
Got a bit worried for a minute there lol.
Predictive text I’m afraid! 😱! Didn’t check my post thoroughly!!!
Just read this post from you!! clears things up xxxx
It's great that you had such a positive experience Lynne - I saw my consultant yesterday to get my ops which were postponed because of COVID.
Enjoy your new eyesight!
Hi Finvola , So sorry to hear that your operations were postponed.
I hope that you’ll be seen to soon. They seem to be moving things along here in South Wales quite quickly.
Wishing you well. Lynne
Thanks Lynne - consultant hopes to do first one early in June. The NHS list here in NI has grown from a 3 year wait for first consultation before COVID to 4 or 5 years now - couldn't cope with that so I have gone down the private route.
Hi Finvola A 4 to 5 year waiting list is truly appalling! I count myself lucky as I have only waited 2 and a half years with Covid taking up all of last year!
All the best for your operation.
Please let me know how you get on. Lynne x
Good to hear all went well. Enjoy your improved vision.
Thank you so much meadfoot.
Good news Lynne, pleased that everything went well. Have you plucked up the courage to look in a mirror yet......😂😉😂
Hi Flapjack Yes!! Just about, only thing is I can see the wrinkles more clearly now 😱😂🤣
Glad it all went smoothly Lynne, I can relate to seeing more wrinkles and it appears I got much greyer!
Hi Diane, Lol😂🤣
Glad it went well for you. I found it amazing that I could see every individual leaf on a tree, rather than a blur.
Thanks, I just can’t believe the difference! The colours are so bright!
Everyone will have aged 10 years and the grass will look so mucher greener. Had both mine done. " Brilliant 🤓"
Hi Nerja Although it’s onl y been a few days I’m amazed! Seeing everything and everyone so clearly, and colours so vivid and fresh!
The surgeon who did mine has booked me in to have my other eye done in about 6 weeks.
I’m so lucky!
Mcquire. Mine was in the same time frame as well . Before surgery I never needed Prescription glasses for anything but after surgery found I needed them to read. NOW 3 years later my reading ability has corrected itself and I'm back to no prescription specs at all. Its a wonderfull operation to have and I feel very privileged to have had it done. .
So do I Nerja!! Very privileged indeed!
That's great. Hospice has me worried though xxxxx
So sorry about that!! I will check more carefully in future!
Just read other posts. I'm so glad your eyes are working!! Good luck with the other eye in a few weeks. Keep us posted!! xxxx
Thanks so much Handel! Will certainly keep you posted.
xxxx
Good to hear. Hope you continue in this way.
Thank you Desanthony!
My wife always says that the worst part of most operatins or procedures are the worry before hand. Once it is all over and is usually not as bad as you thought. the hardest part is usually the recovery treatment and exercises etc but it's all on the up now so Good Luck!
Hi DesanthonyI agree with your wife about the worry before hand !
It’s the fear of the unknown!
Thankfully the procedure was carried out expertly and proved that there was ‘’Really nothing to worry about’’
and the result is truly amazing!
Thanks for your good wishes!
