Possible eye surgery this year

[graham58]

Hi everyone.

I went to my opticians a couple of years ago for an eye test, and they found a lot of deterioration in my eyesight - for those who know what this means, I had lost more than 1 dioptre in each eye over the course of a year.

I was referred to the local eye hospital in Plymouth (which we're lucky to have btw) by my doctor, and the news was that I have a cataract in each eye and these will require surgery when they're sufficiently advanced. The last eye test I had (in June last year) they weren't so I was OK, but I have another eye test due in about a week's time, which I'm not looking forward to.

Has anyone had eye surgery, and have positive stories to pass on as a result?. If so, these would be much appreciated at the moment. (No horror stories please, I already know about those!). Have to admit that I thought dentists were scary until I discovered eye surgeons.

Thanks in advance,


Graham .
