    Good news Remal , pleased for you. One of my 88 year old customers had one eye done one week and the other done two weeks later and she was amazed at how well it went. She had been dreading it but said it was nowhere near as bad as she had imagined. She said her eye was a little sore for a couple of days and then fine.

    Glad your getting it sorted and let's hope next year will be a better one.

    thats one of my worry's. I'm not 88 and why the last few years have pee'ed me off with 1 op after another. if you get me

    but at least it's will be a huge improvement after I get it done and ready for a good warm and dry 2014 :)

    right seen the Surgeon last Friday. had to have a few test, 1 which they could not do which was looking at the back of my eye through the Cateract. But as it's that bad I have to have this done just before my op nwext friday as the one in the Bristol eye Hospital is very powerful. they need to do this to be able to know what lens I need implanted.

    When the Surgeon checked my left eye he said yes I do have one in that eye, and he's 99% positive I will be blind in the let eye come Easter. So not been a happy bunny of late. See what i did there. Bunny easter [​IMG]

    My concern is if I had to wait for 6 months from the NHS would they let a 36 YO, main income earner, in a Job that requires a manager by law for the job I do GO blind by waiting? :(


    So I will be able to see really well after next Friday but will need another op in the new year

    Well all this shit but at least I will be able to see better than I have had for years from next Spring

    Strange to say but another year another Op but i'm looking forward to this one.

    Went to see my surgeon last Saturday. To check the progress of my eye op I had in Dec. results are perfect distance eye sight and the need for glasses to read. I knew this would be the case.

    The Surgeon checked my other eye and said it was bad enough to remove the cataract. thank god for that

    So yes 2014 and another op. would be 5 in the past 6 years (Leg ops, Hips etc..) but looking forward to having 2 eye's that both can see distance. At the moment I am long signed in 1 and short in the other)

    So result. I need to book myself in for mid feb. Half a day at the Bristol eye hospital. 24 hours with a patch ( Eye eye captain) and 20mins of discomfort and pain then 2 workign eyes better than I have had for 25 + years

    Sp Happy in the the end. strange that really.

    Once it's done, you'll really be able to appreciate the high regard in which we all hold you, Matt.

    I can understand your letting off steam, your sight is one of the most important senses one takes for granted, hope it works out mate!

    I have my other eye op this evening. not looking forward to it but being able to see better than I have for years is going to be great so worth it.

    and glad the recovery time is quick so hoping by tomorrow or the end of the week both eyes will be sorted and vision improved.

    then just have to wait 4 weeks for all the antibiotics to settle down and get a eye test and see what readers I need. I've not been wearing glasses for driving which is been great. Just need to get some new sunnys now for the log hot summer instead of my old prescription Oakley s
