Rather than my control panel, I have now begun to look in the OFF home page/new posts/posted in today, and scroll back through all of today's and see if I recognise any of them.

Been almost 4 weeks now and I'm seeing excellent, and are the colours ever bright..

The cataract surgery I had, and which is the usual practice here, is the removal of the lens from its capsule and its replacement with a synthetic lens.
I know from personal experience that the eye that has been operated on is still blurry (though I'm not sure why) for a few days. Mine is, two days after the operation.
I'm hoping it will improve!

Mine was a good experience, nurses were great, Doctor excellent, blurry at first, but by late afternoon I was able to see pretty good..
As for the replacement lens, we have the normal one, which is covered by insurance, the other 3 types are not and are very expensive..

I certainly hope things improve for you. Thoughts and prayers sent. Keep us updated.

On the other hand, I did have a scan for sizing (which may or may not have involved a laser?).
My experience also was excellent. The staff at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital (our regional specialist hospital) couldn't have been better.
