Cataracts and other visual concerns!

I just got home for the right eye surgery. The doc said it went well.
What do you have to say about how it went? When my wife had hers done, she was amazed at how much better she could see by the time she got home, 1.5 hrs after surgery.

My eye is still very dilated. I can see with it, but to bright.

Sorry to hear that. I hope that your pupils recover soon!

Atropine, the active agent commonly used to dialate eyes, has widely varying sensitivity in the population, and some individuals can be quite sensitive, as in 1/10th of the "normal" dose. It is said that blonde hair or blue(ish) eyes has a correlation with high sensitivity. I know folks with high sensitivity and neither.

All the best,

Peter

Tomorrow will be like a new day for you with the improved vision. Dilation will be mostly gone by then and you will have your 'new' vision.

If you think it's clear now wait a few weeks.

My eye is still dilated this morning.
My dilation lasted into the 2nd day, too. But vision started to clear, and it was impressive.

Still taking eyedrops. I can't really get the full effect of my better eye now (the one that was repaired) until I can get a new prescription and right lens for my glasses.
