Lorriem.....Sorry!

[ICC]

I am so sorry I haven't posted. Left eye as you know was done last Tuesday. ALl is well except I can see the lens out of the left corner of my eye. A little disrupting at times. Funny thing is when I cover my right eye I can't see it. Dr. said 98% of the time it subsides but sometimes doesn't. He feels it will when my right eye is done. The eye drops are a pain in the butt but I know very necessary so will be religious in using them. At times I feel like I didn't get it in and am hoping I am not putting 2 in at times. Oh My! Right eye will be done on Thursday. I am looking ofrward to balancing my vision out as it just stinks having a good and a bad, 2 bads. I feel like i haven't seen clearly forever. I am a little anxious about having the right eye done but not because the surgery was bad. I guess just nervous is normal.

Now onto you. How is everything? Now that you have both done is all OK? Please forgive me for making you worry and update me on how you are.

ICC I am so glad you are ok. When you have your other eye done it will balance out your vision.With only my left eye done I could see everything close up even the fine print but distance was a problem. When my other eye was done it allowed me to see distance also but my near vision wasn't as good but that is what it is supposed to be. With the lens I have you need reading glasses as I was told from the very start.
I am so ready to stop the drops one more week and I am through.
Thanks for updating me I tend to worry about some special people.

Glad all is well with you Lorriem. Aren't the drops a pain? I had to make a chart so I don't get confused as to which eye is getting what. LOL. I figured all would balance out when the other eye is done. It's just so nerve wracking trying to focus. Surgeon told me the same thing. Will probably need reading glasses. I have always been far sighted and am now in the left eye. Can see a mile BUT do need to put a pair of reading glasses on to read small print. Makes no difference to me. It's just so much better than having those nasty cataracts blocking your vision. Keep in touch. You are special also

I could see the edges of the lens in my left eye...it's the crystalens implant, and is a relatively smaller lens. It's been a couple of years now and I only notice it briefly when I first go outside on a dark night and my pupils expand.

Thanks seriousperson......Surgeon said it's usually temporary but sometimes is permanent. FUnny thing is I don't see it when i cover my right eye. Having the right eye done tomorrow so am hoping for as good results as I got with the left.
