As exciting as the cataract surgery was, the recuperation has been more than I bargained for because I feel like there is sand in my eyes. But I can see so much better! My ophthalmologist suggested warm compresses for 5-7 minutes daily because the problem seems to be my lower eye lids. The warm compresses feel good! Afterwards I wipe my eyes with these special cleaner pads and rinse afterwards. Am finished taking the 4 times a day prescription drops and now I'm using Liquid Tears. It has been a month since the left eye was done, and almost three weeks for the right. I can't complain. This surgery is quite miraculous because I am ready to select new frames for new glasses but what is exciting, is now I can see the frames myself rather than depend on one of the opticians to advise me which ones look good. ! Furthermore, if I decide to go without new prescription glasses, I can!
Congratulations. Been there, done that, late Oct and mid-Nov. By mid-Dec, seemed to have a complication. Unwanted lights, corner of right eye. Only these weren't flashing lights. More like a cascading herring-bone pattern. Doctor said everything looked fine, couldn't explain lights. Lights possibly due to some migraine-related brain glitch, but in any case, they seem to be occurring less and less. Otherwise delighted.
