Good luck when you have the surgery. I have early cataracts and dread the thought of needing surgery to remove them in the future.

I sincerely hope you get the surgery i know how much it means to you

Unfortunately my wife had cataracts at the beginning of this farce they call covid.

She lived to read she was so clever .

I tried private i did not care how much the cost still the b ds wouldnt do it

Then she died of lung cancer so my best wishes are sincerely meant

Love and Best wishes

I had to have cataract surgery when renewing my driving licence just before age 75, have to reapply for it. Knew I could only just read number plate at 20 meters, wasnt prepares to lie on application, I’d been waiting long time, but my GP was helpful and got both eyes done at two different hospitals. The first was brilliant, very caring, and no bruises or pain, use local anaesthetic. The second eye was not quite so good, no anaesthetic, and got some bruises. Worse thing is seeing instrument coming to eye! But no regrets about having them done, and could really see better afterwards. Good luck, Jean
