    Update -- I had the cataract surgery and could not be more pleased. I had actually forgotten what the color white looked like. I am looking forward to having my other eye done. To those who feel some fear, I can only say that my experience was wonderful.

    Yay!! I'm so glad to hear that. My own cataract is stubborn and hasn't gotten bigger yet. I know my day wll come to have the surgery. I thought it would be early this year, but my doctor says it's not yet time.

    Many people are indeed fearful of something they don't have any knowledge of. Especially when it comes to invasive procedures like a surgery. This lens should convince enough those who are scared of a surgery.

    Fear of the "Unknown" is always a little uneasy, after taking to a Doctor or someone who has been through this already does aften help. I like the way you have presented the information within this Lens!! :)

    I have recently had cataract surgery so this topic is near and dear to me. I am pleased to report that the procedures were a success and vision in both eyes is as good as it was before the cataracts developed.

    I'm so happy to hear it!

    Glad you liked my lens. I was hoping it would be helpful to everyone. I just recently had to have my drivers license renewed and I was nervous. Fortunately, I passed. Looks like my cataract surgery will be next year.

    Since I was informed at my last eye exam that I am beginning to form cataracts I really appreciate your lens with all this information on it. Thank you.

    This is so well researched and presented. The thought of eye surgery does freak me out (more so than other kinds of surgery) but I know that cataracts and glaucoma are in my family. 'SquidAngel blessings' on this lens.

    Very good advice to seek a one-on-one interview -- especially with surgery.

    Great article, it was very informative. It sounds like you will definitely be ready when it is your time to have the surgery.

    Very Good, Janie. Wish Rich and I had this information before RIch had his 2 recent cataract operations. I look forward to you foture articles.

    Wonderful article, Janie! So very informative. This will help out many who face this surgery with fear. I have no doubt this will help put others at ease. I am so glad to hear that communication with your doc made you feel more comfortable with the procedure. Thank you for sharing!
