  1. Evening all!

    I just thought I'd pop in her and let you know that I had my cataract op on Tuesday!!

    2 weeks ago when I had my tests I was told it would be in 8-12 weeks yet I was given the op date the next day.

    So, I went in t 0745 to the Midland Eye , had the op at 0920, back in the waiting room by 1000, and home at 1300.

    What was the op like??? All bright lights and strange shapes. {60s psychedelia rules Ok!)

    Any pain?? No {eye drrops and local anaesthetic}

    Any discomfort now? Yes some, but not too bad. {Nowt that painkillers can't handle}

    Any improvement yet?? Yep lots!! And more tto come!

    Get your eyes checked regularly and if you need this op go for it!

    Cheers all!

    Good you sound really pleased. Glad it went ok.
  2. Thanks everyone for the messages of encouragement (??)

    I went to the Midland Eye this morning. They complimented me on having a brilliant cataract and after lots of eye drops etc told me I could have a cataract op within the next 3 months.

    They also said that there is a membrane in the eye but not to worry. If it ruptures they can do a more complicated operation later (made me feel better that one! :ph34r: )

    Oh and by the way..you've got the beginnings of a cataract in the other eye.

    Isn't modern science wonderful?

    Oh yeah...on the way to the hospital my pop bottle spi;t and has ruined my netbook. Doing this on Wifey's computer.

    And the day's still young! :blink:

    Not got a clue what all that means but the pop bottle bit sounds like a disaster.
  3. I've got an appointment for 3 hours of tests @ the Midland Eye Hospital tomorrow.

    I know I've got a cataract on the left eye.

    Hope they say they'll be operating soon, yet don't like the thought of them opening up my eye while I,m awake.

    Talk about mixed feelings eh?

    Good luck. I hate anything to do with eyes it really makes me ill.
