now both cleaned with laser

my initial surgery each eye a week apart

That happens in about 50% of the cases. It's thin membrane that grows over the new lens. A few zaps with the laser and it's gone for good. The doctor will tell you about the possibility of it. You don't feel a thing but t's kind of weird hearing the membrane sizzle, like your eye is being poached.





Great info! Thanks!

I think I might be having something like that on my right eye. Had cataract surgery and lenses installed last year.

I had my eyes done about 5 or 6 years ago. t my last exam I was told that there was a film on both lenses with the right eye being to worst of ht two. I got scheduled for the laser treatment. the sitting like forever while they put drops in my eyes about every half hour until finally the doc came in to do his part. Maybe 20-25 minutes later listening to the snap crackle and pop as he burned off the film and did target practice on a bunch of floaters I was told to sit out in the lobby for a half hour and then I could go home. They set me up for an eye exam a week later and not only was all the film gone but it was seeing 20/10 again. Like the cataract surgery it was painless and successful.

Yay! They had a cancellation and moved me up. Leaving now. May or may not report back today.

Thanks for the good wishes, all.

What amazed me was the anesthesia. On my 2d eye, the nurses had me on the table and prepped. The doc came in and talked to me. What I heard was "We're about ready to get started we're all done". In the middle of that sentence he did the surgery. I clicked out and clicked back in just as fast. I wasn't 100% steady so I couldn't drive but I was fully awake.

I don't know what it was, just that it was fast and effective.

How old were you guys when the cataract surgery was done? I am 57 now and my doc says it would be too early.

And what about the use of iron sights after the surgery and everything else is fine? Some of you guys wrote that the use of iron sights is still not possible.

My wife had both done at the same time a couple years ago. Piece of cake, you'll be fine. She now has the eye site of an eagle so I have to be on my best behavior. Kind of a bad deal for me!

I had one done on my left eye like 2017... last year I had to go back and have lazer zap a bunch of scar tissue....

the biggest hurt was it was ALL out of pocket, because we hadn't reached our family's DEDUCTIBLE...

I hate friggin accountants who come up with this Deductible Bull Schidt and the other one... the Co Pay Rackett.....

how few of these clowns are the Cheap Ass ones, who give jewish people a bad name?

Hope all goes well, or went well for ya Rocky....

It did go well. My eye is still a bit milky this morning, but it's improving. No discomfort at all. Have my post-op check later today, then a vision check in a week. I made the anesthesiologist laugh. He announced that he had started the drip and a few seconds later, I confirmed that he had reached "One martini."

One thing irked me. Halfway through the procedure, the nurses started talking about their resumes and related stuff. I finally said "Can we cut the chit-chat and do our jobs?" The doctor didn't say anything right then but I suspect he may have later I was wheeled out. I thought it was unprofessional and lax. If he brings it up again today, that's what I'm going to tell him.

Glad it worked out well for you. Had both my eyes done a couple of years ago. Had an astigmatism corrected in my right eye as well. Still need reading glasses but that's easy to do. Wonderful experience. How they can go in and replace the lens at the back of the eyeball is simply amazing. E

The lens is at the very front, but it is still amazing.
