cataract lens?

[strollingbones]

if you have done it...which lens did you pick? the mono lenses is the only one covered by medicare..

i got a morbid question..lets say i go for the better lenses and then die...keel right over...can they remove the lens and re use it?
everyone talks about how great the results are...

i go for the first meeting soon...will this just be chitty chatty about the surgery and lens...or will they dilate my eyes? marion is still an hour away...i hate hubby having to drive me everywhere cause of the eyes being dilated

You should ask the doctor. Thats a good question whether you can use the lens again.

Beware........I had both lenses replaced, by a referral from my eye doctor which, I stopped going to, for recommending this opthamologist.

I had them done in 2007, the Dr. claimed I would have 20/20 vision or better..........NOT true, still needed glasses after the surgery.
Fast forward 15 years, I started to see black rain in one eye, which they warned me about, so I went to the hospital, like they suggested, they couldn't do anything.
So, I'm now blind in one eye, waiting for it to happen in the other one.
RESEARCH, and research even more............good luck.

I had cataract surgery almost 15 years ago

I have been extremely near sighted since I was a child to the point if someone knocked my glasses off, I couldn’t see them on the ground.
I can now go without glasses at all but wear them to cover reading and closeup

Yep. I thought they were gnats swarming in front of my face.
BUT out of one eye, that was an "OH' SHIT" moment.

Good for you, same here, damned near since childhood.
My opthamologist chalked the need for glasses, after my surgery was astigmatism.

Still got my real eyes, but I think most people go for the mono lens because they come with less optical quirks afterwards like halo/starbursts. Most people I know who wore glasses before still wear them afterwards. Their prescription just changes.

My dad had a complication with one of his. Somehow some piece of contaminant ended up behind the lens during surgery. It involved lots and lots of expensive drops, needles into the eyeball, and lasers at a specialty doctor but they finally got it straightened out. Since none of the extra stuff cost him a penny, I am assuming the doctor was footing the bill to keep from getting sued.

Someone who works for me had just 1 done. She developed an infection behind the lens which she said just was a "cloudy spot" and they got that knocked out with one laser treatment that took like 15 minutes.

LW maggots cheer when ANTFA or BLM kill Police or burn down city blocks. They cheer when DEMs ANTFA or BLM not punished for crimes but conservatives are jailed, refused banking, censored, property siezed (by the communists), lives destroyed on & on. They gloat and cheer on masive 2020, 2022 Voter fraud. They parrot LW media 24-7.

uhhhh….I refuse to converse normally with any LW loon anywhere anytime. When the time comes …..38 million will have to be put down or otherwise re-located. //

I didn't know there was a choice. I was a diopter or two from being legally blind and I was back to 20-20 with an operation that took less than an hour. What a Country.
