Hi Jeff, no we didn’t talk about cataracts, my optometrist hadn’t mentioned them yet.

Diann is still putting my eye drops in, another couple of weeks of that to go, then restart for the right eye a week later……Regards, Rod

I had an aversion to putting in the drops but after a couple of days thought I should be able to do it so I mastered the task.
I was the fastest, and last, patient for the day when I had mine done. IIRC, the surgeon said "just under 5 minutes" fastest one today." Not sure what the start and finish points were in the timing but I didn't take long once they wheeled me in to the room.

I use saline eye drops because of dry eye, so I almost don't have to think about that...it just happens. When I had my surgeries, the eye drops required before and after were no issues.

Ken, I had LASIK about 20 years ago (am 70ish). I had one eye done closer, one infinity. As I aged, I needed reading glasses. Having non-symmetrical eyes kind of makes getting cheaper readers problematic. Yes, eyes adjust, sort of. Still annoying. I should have gone symmetrical and gone to progressive glasses from the start.I am planning on having cataract surgery mid-summer. I want one eye in distance and one eye close.
Like you Mike, I was 20 last century!

Pop out the lens that you don't need (pop it out of the glasses, not your eye
)
