Cataracts
 

Think twice about Multifocal Lens.I choose them and I still need reading glasses. Distance vision is good.They don't work for everybody.$5000 extra.

Dr. Hussein Elhalis at Ocala Eye performed my cataract surgery and I couldn't be happier. I give him an A++++.

If you think about multifocal lens, try it first as contacts that you just wear over your eyes. I did and got headaches from them. So I went for single focal, far for one eye, near for another. Now I never have to wear glasses other than sunglasses at any time.

I had my cataract surgery in February by Dr Ireland, who came highly recommended. It was the easiest procedure I have gone through. My eyes are definitely better. And Medicare paid all but $40. She is the best.

I had cataracts removed by Dr. Ireland. I got accommodative replacement lenses and now see distant and reading without glasses.

I had cataract surgery about 2 years ago. had both eyes done about a month apart. They put me on Prednisilone eye drops after surgery and I started gaining weight 1/2 lb per day and it elevated my blood pressure. It was awful and very dangerous. Because eyes were done so close together I had to be on the drops for so long. I would only suggest doing one eye at a time and waiting until you are completely off the eye drops for 6 months. I take no other meds, not even aspirin and am 75 yo. Vision is now great for distance and wearing cheapies for reading, no big deal. When you first get your eyes done you'll find that your colors are different and look more blue, so people with a tan look greenish now. ....... so be it.

They don't due both at the same time, usually a week apart.

May I ask what type of RX you needed before your surgery? I ask bcs I have been very near sighted with heavy astigmatism since 7 yrs old. Now that I am old I am also far sighted. I am told I can only be corrected for 2 out of 3. They can correct the near & astigmatism but not for so i would need reading glasses. I am told this is due to lense technology, not my specific condition.

She's great! Get the highest priced lenses. Be sure to use preservative-free eye drops cuz you're going to get dry eye.
