I hope all goes well for you_one eye.

I'm glad to hear it's going well. Sorry for your discomfort and pain, but it's easier to take that when you know you're making progress. I hope you can find some temporary relief as you heal.

Had cataract surgery, it's not bad. Have had floaters for about 25 years, and I can still see them; although, at one time the doctors could not see the back of my eye due to the floaters caused by a hemorrhage. They can remove the fluid and floaters in the eye, replace it with water, and the over time the eye fluid will return.

At age 51, I had cataract and Lasik surgery. My vision improved tremendously.

Cataracts developed because I grew up on a lake, sailing and swimming. Also I live on the sunny side of the Cascade Mountains of Washington State.

My ex-husband had terrible vision. After he had cataract surgery with Lasik, Terry cried with joy.

"For the first time in my life, I can see individual trees on that hillside!" Terry exclaimed. As an artist, Terry was ecstatic to have perfect vision, and not need contacts or glasses anymore.

Well that's some good news at least. I have cataract surgery in my future as well but not for several years at least.

Cataracts have to " Ripen" before they do a removal,a small incision is made,the bad lens removed, and the new one put in it's place,no stiches,or having to sleep in a darkend room.

Good luck...I didn’t know about your diabetes or your eye condition. This news is better than it may have been, so that is positive. ?

I've had Cataract surgery on both eye now,the left in California about 18 years ago,and the right here in Missouri,almost 6 years ago.Both went smoothly,no problems of infections,you will wear an eye guard until the next day when the Doctor will remove it.

I'm diabetic as well and have annual retinal scans, there's been something around for years but it hasn't got any worse and has in fact improved by itself but I can empathise with the whole thought process of potential eye conditions. Fingers crossed

Hang in there. Glad to hear the news is positive!
