Gracie Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The very best of luck from me, Eric, will be thinking of you. A big brave Scotsman like you, it should be a piece of cake, let us know how you get on Grace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 You will be fine Eric. My neighbour has had both her eyes done in the last 6 weeks and hasn't looked back (pun intended). Best thing she ever had done apparently and making a massive difference to her. She had a tiny niggle with the first eye, but they quickly sorted that and did the 2nd one a couple of weeks ago. She has had to be careful with getting stuff in her eyes, but loves her knew vision. Good luck anyway and "see you" back on the forum in the blink of an eye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDTRIPLE Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi Riyad, Karen had a cateract removed from her right eye 6 weeks ago, and has not had any problems. It`s a really straightforward thing to do these days, so much so, she was in the operating theatre for less than half an hour. She`s very sensative around the eyes, so they did a general anesthetic, which was`nt a problem. Because Karen is short sighted, they even put in a lens to correct her sight, and now she does`nt need glasses, but in her right eye only. However, the consultant did say they will do the left one (which is`nt as bad as the right was) within a couple of months or so, because of the imbalance between her eys, and she cant wait either. There really is absolutely NOTHING to worry about. I forgot to mention, Karens cateract was at the BACK of the eye, and they had to go through the eye to get to it, but when she came around, there was no pain or anything, just a slight bit of discomfort for a day, which is eased by the eye drops she had to take for a month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riyadhcrew Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hi Peeps, Got the patch off and there is a huge difference in the ammount of light I can see. Focus will take a few days to adapt and I should get the left eye done within 2 weeks. Looking good though. (pun intended). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riyadhcrew Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Morning Peeps, Well, that's the other eye done. Bit more painfull this time, so they gave me another shot of anisthetic in the eye. Patch is due off tomorrow, so then we'll see (I hope). Typing this whilst looking through my right eye only, without wearing any glasses, so fingers crossed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 wow, that was quick. The hospital did say they would do Karens other eye within a couple of months. Two months is nearly up, and we have`nt heard anything, maybe we should gee them up a bit?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebee29 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Glad it's all sorted Eric. mum had her second eye done last Wednesday and they had a bit of a problem getting the cataract off causing quite a bit of pain and needing a stitch. the anaesthetic wore off for her as well. She did recover very quickly afterwards though and the op has made a great improvement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you could go and live in Saudi Arabia, Neil, but it would probably be cheaper to have it done privately here in England? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why one-eyed pilots aren't allowed. Glad it's all over and you can start looking forward to next year's boating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Morning John, Just returned from getting the patch off. Still not a lot of focus, but loads more light, so we'll give it a few hours and see. (pun intended) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riyadhcrew Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 No bruising around the eye, but the eye itself is rather red, especially where I got 2 numbing injections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
