eye surgery - lens replacment (1 Viewer)

[richnrg]

anyone had it done?

I mean lens replacement, for us old gits, as opposed to laser eye cornea reshaping.

Any good/bad reports / costs etc

(my wife suggested I get advice off the GP, but I thought - 'fuck it' - skybluestalk is far more reliable.)

I don't know, some people on here are always thinking about themselves. They're just Eye Eye Eye....

Nope. Currently use contacts so would be considering this at some stage too!

Might be a silly question, but what problem does it solve?

ingrowing toenail

In my case long-sightedness also cataracts. Having it doen can mean no more glasses and no more cataracts. Also no more £8000 though I think.

A friend of mine had it done, cost a fortune and now regrets it.
His eyes often look sore and he seems to be permanently squinting to focus.

I thought it was free when done in conjuction with having the cateracts done.
Something I may have to consider in the not to distant.

If is the laser treatment, a mate of mine had it done and went from having terrible eyesight to having perfect vision with no problems at all.

May have been as the ex mothrr in Law had it done as a senior citizen
Think She's been ok with it since, Certainly did'nt have any longterm side effects
Just a couple of days slight discomfort.

Not had anything done to my eyes as yet, but I know a couple of folk that had laser treatment and they say it is absolutely brilliant how they can see so clearly now. Not sure about lens replacement though. Don't know anyone who's had it done.

Guy at work had it done, best thing he has ever done according to him and no problems

My grandad had it done. Glasses from the age of 5. Perfect vision at 85.

Is it on the NHS?
As a pensioner or something else?

Only ask as wife needs it done. She is in the UK right now. So......

Always wear sunglasses outdoors, even when the sun isn't shining. It's exposure to UV light that causes cararacts.
I have them and have to get them done this year.
