    I believe when they do the eye op they suck out alll the contamination of old cataract but some minute bits can still remain which can slowly grow back (layman’s terms).
    Apparently this can be cleared with fairly simple lazer so I’m told.

      Yes they had a few bits after removing most of mine as the surgeon kept me informed.

      But using , his preferred method old method, 20 seconds later all clear he said..

      We have 3 eye surgeon, 1 young & two middle aged, in Jersey & none of them use lazer techniques.
      At least for cataracts.

        Sounds like they loooked after you anyway. I forget your on the island. Lovely place Jersey, I went there a few years ago on holiday. Popping back to your neighbors next year to Guernsey for a Holiday. Quite like
        All the ww2 bunkers and history there.

          Yes & another eye next week Carl. Got pay for it. 24 month waiting list.

          Guernsey is a lovely place. Different character to Jersey. Their only problem making up their mind about anything.
          We were a boating family 7 Guernsey was always the first trip of the season.

            Great news, Laurie. Must be lovely to get a big improvement in your eyesight, rather than the inevitable steady decline we all get most of the time.

              Yes Paul it is incredible. Even with only one eye corrected so far. Thanks for your thoughts.

              I can even recognize friends in the street it was that bad.

                  Thanks Scottie very nice comment. Actually half clear. Next eye in a week. Not since I had the first eye
                  sorted have I realized how bad the good eye was.

                  Can now see wife quite plainly. Good choice :tears-of-joy: :tongue-out:

                      Very nice of your Chris & Jen. Been creeping along with magnifiers. Does not help the spirits.
                      Pretty little Dove got it's wings on today. No magnifiers. Yippie the sun is shining (with thunderstorms between).

                        Both eyes done & dusted. Cataracts gone. 10 minute routine yesterday for left eye.

                        This morning removed the patch with some trepidation. And there was this world
                        as I knew it when young. Whites are white. I can see aircraft in the distance.

                        Also I can see all the detail on my little Dove with out resorting to 3.5X magnification.

                        I can also appreciate Pauline in full. Total elation. Wow it is, over the moon.
