I had cataract surgery 5 years ago (the poor man's lasix since insurance paid everything except $50.) and it's been wonderful to need glasses only to read.

Good luck and I know you'll enjoy your new found freedom.

Good luck. I am sure it will go alright and you will soon forget that you ever wore glasses.

Good luck! You're braver than me.

Good luck Prowler. Seeing better without glasses is great, but at times you might not like what you see better.

Wish I could get rid of these dam reading glasses too.

Chris, brave is a finger of speach.... remember where you work at DANG. LOL

I'm sure the surgery will be a success and you'll come back to us with a renewed sparkle in those eyes!

I've thought about this too. Last time I checked on it ... oh some 10 years or so now, I was told that my problem couldn't be fixed with laser. I'm at a point where I need new glasses so an up coming appointment will be considered with a laser qualified opthamologist just to see if what my problem is, isn't now correctable.

I've heard that pretty much any optical condition can be corrected by laser now.

Short story about a couple Aunts of mine.

They both went and had their eyes done at the same time by the same Dr. Their instructions were to go home close their eyes, do not smoke and do not watch tv ... well one does exactly like the doctor tells them, and of course the other doesn't.

Needless to say, the one who obeyed the directive of the Doctor is doing fine. And the other, her eyes are worse than when she went to have the procedure done.

So the moral of the story here Prowler ... do what the doctor tells you to do after the surgery.

Good luck Prowler. If my insurance covered it I would have done it 10 years ago.

My wife had the procedure a few years ago. She's been very pleased. The only downside she's had is a chronic "dry eye," but it's as much a part of age as the surgery. She now uses Restasis drops to stimilate tears.

I got to watch the whole thing, which was very strange to do. It looked like a pretty straightforward procedure. Hope everything goes just as well for you.

Have fun, Prowler!

My eyesight is rollercoastering around. Started with -1.0, then it was -2.0 and now it's back up to -1.25. Weird.

That is one quick operation, my mother-in-law had it and she loved it.... She looks 10 years younger....

We pray all goes well with the procedure, Prowler!
