Thanks guye. I'll be talking to the Dr. tomorrow and get swome more info. You've been very helpful.
My experience with the first cateract surgery was very pleasant. the surgery was done under a local anesthetic (which was induced while I was under a very brief generalanesthesia)and took about 45 minutes. The actual surgery was done under the local. No lasers were involved. The only discomfort was having the nurse stick an IV line in my hand before surgery. I wore a patch over the operated eye for 24 hrs and then nothing. My vision was improved enormously. This was exactly a week ago and the vision continues to improve.
I am aware that there are some new lens' that purport to have a bifocal effect. My doctor won't use them: he tells me they are only second generation products and he has had to remove 9 that were installed by other docs.
