Eye Op.

[Daisy]

WeeGranny - you can have your cataracts done and and still ignore the dust. I certainly didn't start rushing round the house with a paintbrush, and you gradually get used to your new reality. I think a good indicator that it's 'time' is when you're driving at night and headlights keep dazzling you - that's what I found anyway. The eye surgeon said it's when you find yourself cleaning your glasses all the time - which I did as well.

Daisy I can easily ignore the dust,cataracts or not. The optician/optomotrist, or whatever they're called these days, said I didn't need anything doing when I saw her last week. Didn't even need new glasses! Saved me a couple of hundred pounds!

WeeGranny - wow, getting out of the opticians Scott-free is amazing. It's great you don't have to rush into any treatment.

I hope I get off scott- free when I next visit the opticians WG.

When I go for my other eye op I will then have to buy new specs and sunglasses and they won't come cheap I only bought the ones I have now 18mths ago,I know everyone has said I can just get the len's changed but when glasses have been a part of your life since you where very young you look forward to getting new ones,like a new dress but more expensive

[Daisy]

Glamm - you deserve new glasses for being so brave. xx

I am almost due for an opticians appt. and she has already told me I have the beginning of a cataract, I hope it hasn't got any worse, headlights are a slight problem.

My second cataract op was never quite right and headlights still dazzle me in a 'star' shape in that eye
One of the reasons I dislike driving in the dark.

[Daisy]

Gem - that's a real nuisance for you - no wonder you don't like night driving.

Plant - I hope you get good news from the optician, you seem to have had a run of medical things just recently and you must be quite fed up. xx

I have been for my post op check up and had the appointment made for the other eye to be done they will do it on 9th August so not long to wait,everything was fine with the check up I was really surprised how much better I could read the letters and shapes during the test everything so clear.

That’s good Glam, hope it all,goes well for you.

[Gemini]

I remember when my mum had her cataracts done. She was convinced that she had got so many more wrinkles since the op. lol
