In the other eye, it was white.<br /><br />Both of mine went at once, and so I never noticed a change in color. I sure did find a change in acuity, though! Ugh. I actually enjoyed my cataract surgery, since I was nice and relaxed, chatting with a fellow musician who was the OR tech, and then going out to a favorite fast food place for breakfast afterwards. With the second surgery, I did ask for a bit more relaxation at one point. Since I used to have monovision contacts, my mind focused on the one that was done and I really enjoyed great visual acuity for a while.<br /><br />I had no issues with additional dryness. However, my capsules did develop cataracts quite quickly, and a year later I had to have them lasered. That was fun, too. I barely had time to finish sitting down before he was done with them. <br /><br />Now I find that my visual acuity is greatly dependent on how moist my eyes are.<br /><br />Easiest surgeries I ever had!SLCCOMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-14440513548563669742013-08-07T09:13:17.509-07:002013-08-07T09:13:17.509-07:00In the grand scheme of things ... it could be wors...In the grand scheme of things ... it could be worse. Or to quote my eye surgeon: "if you have to undergo surgery this is the one to choose" I had cataracts removed/lens implants performed on both eyes at the age of 45. They developed very quickly - within months - and were non-age related. Located on the back of the eye. In retrospect I have to wonder if there was an autoimmune connection. Occurred about the same time that my 30 year run as a contact lens wearer came to an abrupt halt because of lack of tear flow. My script was improved by 2/3rds from a coke bottle 11+ diopter to less than 3<br />Couldn't correct the astigmatism but I'll live with it! The inconvenient part of the whole surgery is that they don't do both eyes at once so you spend a couple of weeks seeing quite well out of the new surgically enhanced eye ... and still can't see worth a crap out of the other eye. I can't tell you how many corners I collided with! So ... to make a short explanation long ... you'll do just fine and the results will be amazing. And take note .... this glowing surgical recommendation comes from the worst medical phobic you will ever encounter ....
