UPDATE! Just had a phone call from the Doctor (not his receptionist) Appointment is on Thursday.
He is fitting me in after a late cancellation.

Good luck Kev. What are they doing, cataracts?

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #62 on:** April 27, 2023, 02:53:52 PM »

Yep, Michael. Home again now.

All good.

From what I understand, cataracts are only done one at a time, so as you can remain functional with one "good" eye, whilst the other, operated on, eye is bandaged and recovering. In my case, the first operated on eye came sort of came good (remained a little fuzzy) when bandages were removed, but full improvement was a couple of week later- I woke one morning and sight was excellent.

Hey Kev, are they are taking the bandage/patch off tomorrow? :/

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #67 on:** April 27, 2023, 06:49:06 PM »

Saturday, Russ. And then only to apply drops before the patch goes back on.

Williamson · « **Reply #68 on:** April 27, 2023, 06:55:01 PM »

And until then, you still have the necessary skill to post on the forum.

Oh okay, bit different to me...I saw the surgeon the following morning and had the bandage/patch off there and then.
Then I just needed to apply drops for the next 2-3 weeks...
I was actually pleasantly surprised how good my eyesight was although since then it seems to have gone backward to a certain extent.
My left eye is all good though...

ppopeye · « **Reply #70 on:** April 28, 2023, 09:18:13 AM »

Chris had one in January and the second in Feb. vision is good. Needs glasses for reading now where previously she would always wear glasses and take them off to read.

Charlie had his done last year too. Cost a bomb.

Kev, you should have mentioned cataracts before. Or did I miss that earlier in the thread.

All the best with your recovery.

Just home from the hospital, Patch was removed, eye drops applied, and patch replaced. Will be removed on Monday. Light was a bit painful after playing pirate for the last couple of days.

Pirate days are over! Eye patch discarded. Daylight is still a bit painful but I wear sunnies to help there.
Sunglasses also cover the minor bruising I have. The doc said this should disappear in a couple more days.
Have to apply drops daily for the next 3 weeks. Still some blurry vision at the moment, but thats probably caused by the drops. Was told that all should be normal in 2, 3 weeks or so.
