Question by ItsWittgensteinMiss: Anyone with experience with surgery to remove cataracts from eyes?
So, my mum is having surgery to remove cataracts in a few weeks (her eyesight is extremely bad at the moment), and I think she’s quite scared and upset about it. She’s had a really rough year – got sick and had to go to hospital for a week and hasn’t been the same since, her best friend of thirty years may be dying, her daughter is quite unwell, her mother’s health is degenerating, amongst other things. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this type of surgery and has anything I can use to reassure her? Was your procedure less horrible than you thought it would be? Did you feel better afterwards?

Thankyou very much to anyone who answers.

I have not personally had this operation done. However, a good half dozen of my friends and relatives have gone through the surgery with flying colors.When my grandpa had this done 50 years ago he was in the hospital for a week. They immobilized his head and had sandbags around his body to keep him from moving. Last summer a friend (who is older than my grandpa was at the time) put herself on a Greyhound bus and rode 80+ miles to a hospital in Pittsburgh, PA to have cataracts removed. The SAME day she got back on the bus and came back home with very little discomfort. I tell you all of this to help you & your mom understand that the procedure these days is relatively simple compared to how they did things back in the day. I would try to get her doctor to reassure her about the whole thing. It seems other things in her life over which she has little or no control are causing her more pain than the eye surgery will. Once she has the surgery and can see better, she may be able to be a comfort and blessing to other friends and family who aren’t doing as well. You have my prayers and good wishes.

Question by Pamela V: I have cataracts growing but the eye Dr. says they aren’t ripe enough to remove. What can I do in the meantime
Both of my brothers had catteracts removed after I was told that I had them. They didn’t even know they couldn’t see. LOL! I however know that I am having a hard time seeing but I am still wating. I wonder what they did differently? I know the both were to stubborn to wear their biofocals except for reading only. If I stop wearing my glasses will my catteracts thichen so that I can get them removed and see again? Would the eyes strainning to see make the cataracts thicken?

Nothing you do or read or strain to see can have any effect on the “ripening” of cataracts. They just develop on their own and your eye surgeon will tell you when it’s time to remove them. Everyone “ripens” at a different rate…my own right eye cataract took only two years from when it was first diagnosed, and the right eye cataract came right behind it the following year after the first surgery. Some cataracts just hang around and some get ripe faster…and nothing you do will retard their development or speed it up either!
