Cataract removed and lens replaced

Dad says he had his cataracts done successfully, nearly 30 years ago.
Like you, he and I both only have one useful eye so I understand your trepidation 🤞

I haven’t but a friend has and it was very successful. Good luck

I have 4 friends who have had this done. All of them very pleased with their results.

Hi shinamae i had a very dense cataract on my left eye and totally lost sight in that eye, i had cataract surgery with lens replacement 4 weeks ago, within hours i could see clearly again, hope your surgery goes well

Shinama
I have glaucoma and had the lens in both eyes replaced within 2 weeks of each other. Same strength lens in both eyes which improved my sight.
The first thing that I noticed was how colours all seemed so much brighter. I still need reading glasses but both lenses are the same strength.

I have had successful cataract operations on both eyes, and took the opportunity to have my severe myopia corrected. Well worth the (painless) procedures.

Thank you all very much….💐

I had my cataract done in Exeter (not the NHS hospital though, - I was sent to a private clinic) a few months ago and was very apprehensive. But the whole thing went well and was fine.
I can now see far better, - out of that eye.. - than I ever could.
The other eye will need doing in abut two years.
So good luck Shinamae . I am sure you will be fine. Let us know how it goes, please.

I too have been very short sighted nearly all my life ( measles as a child) I’ve worn contacts since I was about 14 but I’m having trouble removing them at night. I’m wearing my new glasses today but the world seems full of curved doors and counters and I feel very wobbly so I’m interested to hear that new lenses in the eye improve sight. I hope all goes well Shinamae and will be interested to know how it goes

Shinamae this was my sisters story too, she was never happier than after this was done for her. Gone were the thick glasses forevermore.

Was it Spa Medica henetha?

Both my parents had it done and recently a friend did. All a great success.

Good luck!

Just had my 2nd cataract op done at a Spa Medica clinic. The time between 1st one and optician check to 2nd one was 5 weeks. Very calm and professional all round, despite me being very nervous. Still in the recovery stage, no lifting, eye drops and bathing daily but my long distance sight is so good. Need reading glasses also sunglasses as everything is so bright.

My OH had new lenses in both eyes a few years ago (done privately in a specialist clinic in Guildford) and was fine after a couple of weeks. Sees a lot better now, even notices dust on furniture (unfortunately)!

I will be back to report on the outcome of my surgery hopefully sooner rather than later….😬

Sending good wishes for tomorrow Shinamae

It was called New Medica I think . I'll check the paperwork in the morning.
Meanwhile, best wishes...

Thinking of you today Shinamae.
I checked and yes, it was called New Medica. At Marsh Barton.

All done, and I am amazed at being able to see clearly for the first time without glasses or contact lenses in over 65 years.
And this is only the first day, not even 24 hours yet I can’t express what this means to me
Thank you all so much for your reassurance and advice💐💐💐

Oh wow! That's amazing good news Shinamae!!
What a great experience for you 👀

Oh Shinamae such good news. I'm so glad to hear this and happy for you. (Gives me hope!)

Wonderful news Shinamae, glad it all went well.

Great news, Shinamae. I'm so pleased you can now see better than ever. Brilliant.

Very good news, Shinamae. I'm glad it worked out so well for you!
