Reply To: Cataract Surgery

THANK YOU for your responses!

aries~ #1. I don’t drive. #2. reading, & just seeing, is like I have a thin veil over my left eye, but it doesn’t seem THAT bad. #3. last yr’s vision in left eye was 1350, this yr. it’s 1800. she said I’m legally blind w/o my glasses 🙁 but I certainly can still see… hence, my dilemna/dilemma.

the.nurse~ it was comforting to read your response, especially cuz this happens to be your area of expertise! I could google it all I want, but somehow coming from a human here, it’s more reassuring. my eye doctor said there’d be improvement in my vision after the surgery, but I’m wondering if I should do it now– when it doesn’t seem THAT bad– or postpone it ’til I REALLY can’t see out of my left eye….

I also have moderate basement corneal dystrophy in said eye.

I’m in Brooklyn.
