Anyone care to share your experience of a cataract op. please ?

I have had cataract removal op on both eyes, with a gap in between of more than a year(due to another eye condition).
The first one did not give me double vision, and went well in every way, the second one took longer to settle down. You get used to taking the drops quite quickly, and feel back to normal just as soon. After 3/4 weeks I was told I could drive again. As things are in the NHS at present, they may not be able to tell you exactly when the second eye can be 'done', so my advice would be to have the first cataract removal as soon as they offer it. Hope this helps a little.

I had cataract surgery on my right eye at the end of January. It took about four weeks for me , for recovery, it can take six weeks for your eye to get back to normal. I’m very pleased that I had it done, and should, hopefully have the left eye done in the next five/six weeks. My hospital had to stop doing the ops at the end of January, as the staff were sent over to the other hospital in the trust , to help with the covid pandemic, otherwise I would probably have had it by now . Hope that this helps.

I can't help much on the actual operation, DH has only needed one eye done so far. But even if you are staying in a hotel, I am quite sure they would keep the drops in the fridge for you, we have done this in the past.
