Cataracts

John:

Cateract surgery is a breeze...I've had it done on both eyes and counseled my Urologist when he was
concerned about the same thing you note..

Have applied answers to your questions..see below.

Q How would I go on in a cataract operation ?

A) U Usually go to a hospital,,where that give you something to relax U.

Quoted message said:

Is your head totally immobilised ?

B) Not that I recall..It stands to reason that doctor would not want U to move your head while
he/she was performing delicate surgery. Ur head would not be in a vise or anything like that

How long does the operation take ?

I, and my wife..she also had Cateract Surgery..both eyes... were in and out of the
hospital in about two jours. Time included the time spent in the Recovert Room..After
the surgery they ususally give you a "juice" drink.. I estimate that the surgery took
about 45 minutes.

Quoted message said:

How long before the eye pad comes off ?

C) IF a pad is used..the next day. And you can see much, much better

The advancements that have been made since I had it done are great. In my day they left a stitch,
to-day there is no stitich and the tools they use are much better.

Just make sure that doctor has performed "many" cateract surgeries...not just a couple,

Go 4 it...you will be happy.

PS: I'm 80 and I'd do it again to-morrow

Any help and advice would be appreciated. I have to see the consultant again soon but I would
sooner have these basics understood before I meet with him again.

Thanks.
