I had cataract surgery on my right eye last Tuesday 8/12 at the VA Hospital in Gainesville. They put in a standard distant vision lens, they had highly recommended against the multivision lens. The doctor said they create that lens by placing a small hole in the center of the lens and if they are off by a millionth of a millimeter there is a problem. When I heard that, the choice was simple.
So far everything is great, my right eye is about the same vision as my left eye which is 20/40. The eye will get better, it's only been 6 days, the biggest difference is everything is whiter. When I look at print or something white, especially on TV, the old eye sees an amber tint where the right eye sees pure white.
I have to go back tomorrow for post-op, and pre-op for the left eye which will be done on Thursday 8/28. The biggest problem now is I'm not allowed to do any exercise. Cannot bend over and look down, lift anything more than 5 pounds and not even ride a stationary bike. This is for two weeks after surgery, which ends just in time for the other eye. This is hard for someone who normally goes to MVP Gym 5 days a week.
