On Wednesday, I am going to the Exeter eye hospital to have a cataract in my right eye removed and also have the lens replaced
I have been very very shortsighted from when I was born and my left eye is practically useless more so, since a few years ago, I had an ulcer in it
so I am feeling a little trepidation as technically I only have one eye. The nurse explained to me on my assessment last Wednesday which lasted two hours that the lens does not go on the surface of the eye. It sits behind the iris and pupil….
Anyway, just wondering if anybody else has had this experience as I need a little reassurance …

I'll most likely do that or get the local VG optician to replace the prescription lenses in one of my existing pairs. (I really like them and they were expensive.)

Hospital appointment over. I have cataracts in both eyes. Ops scheduled for mid October. At least I now know what's happening and when. I expect I'll be keener to just get it over with by the time I get to October.
