| I had this done in both eyes a few years ago, and it was the most transformative experience of my life! As well as clearing the cataract, they took the opportunity to implant lenses with prescriptions to correct my otherwise poor vision. That meant I no longer needed to wear glasses, though my family thought I looked 'funny' without them so I got bifocals that were blank at the top with reading at the bottom. If only they could have all done this when I was six rather than waiting until I was sixty and it would have made my life so different! The actual operation is a bit like being at the dentist, with much up close whizzing and whirring, and only a local anesthetic as you need to 'look up, look sideways' as requested! It doesn't take long, and you leave with a patch over the eye to protect everything until whenever. But while that morning's group was waiting to leave, none of us could resist sneakily peeling the patch away at the edge to see the result - at which point the room was filled with multiple exclamations of amazement at such genuinely miraculous transformations. 'Everywhere is so bright! I can see again!' |
