I had my first cataract surgery when I was 44,...I was struggling with night driving, seeing a lot of prisms, starlights, etc. off of headlights. The doctor said it was a fast developing type in my left eye. They anesthatized me to just about sub-conscious level and had me look up into the light. I could hear the laser popping off that they use to break up the lens. Then they injected the artificial lens in there.
Then last year I had to have Yag laser in the same eye. The posterior capsule had clouded up so he cut a hole in it,....instant improved sight. With that procedure he just had me rest my chin on a brace, strapped my head,...probably took him a minute or so to do. Dr. Gordon Schwenck did mine at Ocala Eye. I had to go to their surgery center in Ocala.
Here's a nice video on cataract surgery...good luck!
