I had cataract surgery and stigmatism management done on both eyes this year - would I do it again? Probably but I am still adjusting - I went from seeing nothing in the distance to 20/20 for distance and nothing and I mean absolutely nothing close up. Sure - use cheater glasses - but they don't work real well - got prescription bi-focals for close up - they don't work at all!! It always feels like there is something on my eyes - they ache all the time which I'm told is pretty normal. The surgery is quick and painless but for each person it is a different experience. I cannot sew for more than 1/2 hour which makes me sad as I love to quilt. I cannot quilt on my midarm as I can't see it at all with cheaters or prescription glasses. However, driving now is great!! When going for this surgery as with all surgeries remember to ask a lot of questions. And as Sandy said "nothing is guaranteed."

My mom had cataract surgery. I'll tell you a funny story about it. Before she had the surgery she bought a new house ans we painted all the walls. She bought one five gallon bucket of paint and just told the guy she wanted white but she wanted it "warmed up but not yellow." So we start putting the paint on the walls and my sister and I are telling her it's pink and she says it is not. Mmm, okay mother but this is pink. She has the first eye done and a couple of weeks later she calls me and tells me her walls are pale pink. LOL, uhhh, yeah that's what we said mother.

It's really a piece of cake and the results are amazing ! Unfortunately, now I see wrinkles where,before, I had none and dust where there hadn't been any - lol

I'm 82 and had mine done a year ago. Got the long,middle and near vision corrected to 20-20. I do see car light halos, but I love my eyes. No glasses for anything. I can see like I was 20. Whee! Barny

Yes it is quick and painless.......however....now I need to have the other eye done and I am still not happy with the first one. I now have dry eye and get the ocasional infection in the eye that was "done". I still get halos too but I had anti glare put on my glasses and that helps with the halos. I'm unsure about getting the other eye done and won't unless it gets really bad. Everyone has a different experience.
