Question by wayne s: Are cataract operations generally successful One eye is very bad and the other is still pretty good?
Recently I found driving at night very hard. I have problems writing on the computer now as my eyes bother me. They say that this operation is not a major one, and I wonder if I will be able to see right away or will I have to have patches over my eyes? I am 70 years old now but I enjoy woodworking and writing but I seem to have problems seeing like I used to. They found that I had cataracts when I went to update my glasses. I know of only one person that has had this operation and it went well with her. I am hoping to get some encouragement. Even writing this is about all i can do.

cataract operations are simple and nothing to worry about. it’s a out patient surgery. only takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on your doctor. You have to wear a patch just overnight. They will normally do one eye than the other 2 to 3 months later. you don’t have to be put to sleep. yes you will be able to see good after the patch is removed. Sometimes they might have to do a little lazer stuff if you develope scar tissue, but that doesn’t happen very often. My son was born with cataracts and had the surgery over 10 years ago. he has almost 20-20 vision and has never had any problems. he will be 22 in Feb. Talk to your eye doctor and he can explain everything. Don’t be worried, Take care and good luck—you will be happy you had it done.

My opthamologist is a young man who has performed “only” 160 cataract operations. I am worried that that might not be sufficient experience to do an operation on my eye since I am almost 88 years old.
