My wife had cataract surgery on one eye a year ago and it went well. She had the other eye done last month and it got infected. She is now blind in that eye, most likely forever.
I have a mild cataract in one eye and had been thinking about having it done. Now I don't think so. Not until it gets a whole lot worse. I have had two major surgeries in my life: one for a collapsed lung and the other for a blocked carotid artery. You never really recover from surgery. Best to avoid it unless there is no alternative. Even then, waking up in the recovery room after lung surgery is the closest thing I can imagine to dying and going to hell.

Re: cataracts
Hope your wife is able to recover. I try to avoid any surgeries, it seems I drop dead afterwards for some reason. No one knows why, has happened 4 times now.

hope she is able to recover, Richard....
Re: cataracts
Thanks guys. Losing an eye is bad, but she still has one, and a slim chance that the bad one will recover.

It's worse Jerry; that remaining eye seems able to see my most covert moves. Fortunately she is a great wife.

Re: cataracts
Richard, we all got to do what we have to on the old end of things. I was fortunate with my knee to get the best to do it. Thats the key, getting the highest quality care you can. Sorry to hear your wife had problems with the one eye, thats a tough one that I have always feared as so much of my life is sight oriented.
Hope you get yours sorted out and best wishes man.

Re: cataracts
My right eye got to where I could no longer see where my golf ball landed. (There are inconveniences in life, and then there are problems----that was a problem.) I am fortunate to have a close friend who is an ophthalmologist. He has his own clinic with an operating room.
The most amazing thing is how colors look now. I close my left eye and the sky looks bright blue. I close my new eye and it looks kind of yellowish blue, the way everything has looked for years and I didn't know it. He told me that after sixty years old, your lenses begin to turn yellowish-brown. I am eighty. I guess the left eye is next.

Re: cataracts
good to hear that you got that fixed, finding the golf ball is defenitely a problem for sure, lol. When you go back in, tell him you need a tune up and oil change while he's at it. I was wondering how things were going there, havnt seen you on here in a while.
