* cataract surgery *

Sir Skully · 05-20-2009, 03:25 PM

I had this morning, all went well....

No eye patch.
The surgery was completely pain, blood free.
Amazing how eye surgery has advanced.

Glad it went well!

Glad to hear it, Skully. Yes it has advanced amazingly. Both my mother and my brother-in-law recently had that done, very routinely and smoothly. And for the first time in about 60 years, my mother no longer needs glasses.

But on the other hand, you'd look pretty awesome with an eye patch.

Sir Skully · 05-20-2009, 07:27 PM

Thanks guys, I can already see better from that eye. Doc says 3-4 days to get full sight in the eye.

Glad it all worked out well for you Skully. I had lazer surgery about 6 years ago on my left eye. Like you said no blood no pain at all.
