Been there and done that already. I went to Hoopes Vision and they took care of everything. I was scared to death before having it done (even cancelled it once), and now I'd go back right now. Very simple, quick and painless. This is coming from someone that couldn't wear contacts because I couldn't get them in or out. If you are asking me, I'd say go for it and don't think twice, they made a believer out of me for sure. Not had to wear glasses since and they say I will never have to wear them. To be honest, the multifocal lenses they implanted in me aren't as good as your unaided natural lenses, but it is FAR better than wearing glasses! I've not regretted it for a second. Not to sound like an advertisement, but I wouldn't go anywhere other than Hoopes to have it done, those guys are first rate and things could not have gone smoother. Dr. Hoopes Jr. did my surgery. The day AFTER the operation I had 20/30 vision and one week later it was 20/20, one month later it was almost 20/15! Yeah, I'm a believer for sure! -Barrett Flowers -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Kim Sent: Monday, December 19, 2011 10:23 AM Anyway, since I know so many of you on the list are also getting old(er), I wondered if anyone has experience with cataract surgery? How did it turn out? Was your eyesight as good as new or was there still some degradation? My doctor told me that I wouldn't need glasses afterward. Is that true? I'd appreciate anyone sharing their experience. Kim
