I thought my vision was fine after my cataract surgery on eye #1 in September 2014.
But recently my Opthamologist dilated my eyes and said I need laser surgery on my operated eye.
I'm very relieved to hear it is quick and painless.
I have laser surgery scheduled for the first week in July, and cataract surgery on my second eye scheduled for the following week.
Not as scary to have cataract surgery the second time around.
Nothing to it, really.
Tuesday was my 6 month visit (9 mo from surgery, 6 mo from YAG).
Everything is going well, surgeon says "boring, but boring is good!".
Pressure 12 and 14. Muscles are working well, and have good accommodation working with the Crystalens Truliign hinges. After reading or playing on the laptop, looking in the distance is not as sharp immediately, but clears in a minute or two. Surgeon says this is normal.
Distance is 20/20, reading is great. Near, far, and in-between is all good.
Next visit scheduled 1 year from now.
Even the dents in the side of my head from 30 plus years of glasses are filling in.
No glares, no halos, no complaints. Love it!!!!
