Thursday I had a cataract removed from my right eye. I have to say, I had concerns prior to the surgery, especially after reading the warnings. It's a wonder any of us take our medications with all of the lists of side effects .
I'm happy to report the surgery went very well - and quick. The nursing staff was excellent. The anesthesiologist was knowledgeable and comforting. My eye doctor - the surgeon - is well respected and kind. She's a graduate of Harvard University (this impresses me!). I was told she does the surgical procedure in 3 to 5 minutes! I'm having corrective lenses inserted in my eyes: right eye for close up; left eye (surgery in a couple of weeks) for distance.
I was sleepy when I got home after the surgery, so Nels (my cat) and I took a couple of naps. I managed to stay awake until 8:30 and went to bed for the night.
At my follow-up check-up Friday morning, all was well, so I was able to go to work. My sight was improving throughout the day.
This morning my sight is even clearer. It's remarkable!

So glad to hear that it went well. I just met a lady your age who had it done this past week as well--she said that she is simply amazed at how beautiful the colors are and how bright! I hope that you are as pleased with your surgery.
We have several friends & relatives who've experienced excellent results...will give you confidence and assurance for the 2nd procedure.
