Cataract surgery

[Mark31]

I finally caught up with my co-worker today. He was at Clemson with his son-in-law who does these surgeries (offices at Clemson, Easley, and Greenville, SC) . The lenses are enhanced multi focus lenses, and are made by different companies. The "thing" is having a doctor that can choose the correct one! His wife Bev has had them 3 or 4 years and is very happy.

Make sure you pay attention to what is going on with your eyes right after the surgery. I had mine done a few years ago. The next day I noticed something weird going on but the doc said he didnt see anything. Well, the next day it looked like coal dust hanging in the air in that eye. I had a very serious inner eye infection. By that night the vision in that eye went black. In the next couple of days they did an emergency surgery to remove all of the dead infection cells and pump antibiotics into my eye. (Ever hear the expression stick a needle in your eye ? Very painful and scary. I got the vision back though. But only because I was on top of it. If I hadnt insisted on the doc coming into his office at 9:00 at night I would have lost the vision in that eye.

Tractor, that's down right scary...I can only imagine how happy you were when it cleared up

That's encouraging...you know in every profession there are those that excel and those that are mediocre. Obviously your co-workers son in law is top notch.

I had cataract surgery about five years ago. Had the mono vision done with the high quality polymer flexible lenses. I do not need glasses to read or drive after five years. I see very well at night again and I am 67. In my opinion it is very important to research the doctor doing the surgery as well as his support team in case of problems. There are a number of known problems that may occur and your doctor should inform you of all of them and what he will do if they occur. If you are near Las Vegas or can conveniently come here, I highly recommend the Wellish center. Dr. Wellish does all the surgery himself and has an excellent support team for all follow up. Not cheap, but you only have one set of eyes! As far as the physical experience goes it was painless and quick. No worries there. Good luck to you - I am very happy with my vision after having it done.
