Re: Cataract Surgery Coming- Advice Welcome

The worst part of cataract surgery for me was that I couldn't play golf for a week or strength train (i lift heavy) for 2 weeks. Yeah, the drops were a PITA as well but manageable.

Compared to what I went thru to repair a detached retina, cataract surgery was a piece of cake.

I had cataract surgery about 2.yrs ago on both eyes-a month apart . No problem and yes the drops afterwards are annoying but just an inconvenience.
The first time Inlooked in my bathroom mirror and saw my wrinkles I gasped! Lol. I told my
eye dr that you should warn women about this but he didn’t think it was funny! I did ! He kind of a no guy humor guy anyway!

I agree, I saw age and sun spots all over my arms and legs never knew I had and I thought my bathroom and kitchen were spotless, could not believe the spots I had missed everywhere.
