My Father Has To Have Eye Surgery

[80s_Fan]

Just found out that my father has to have eye surgery because he has cataracts; and so they have to perform surgery on both eyes. They will be removing the old lenses, and put in new ones so, he will have perfect vision after that (20/20); his eyesight will be a lot better than mine.

I'm thinking about having laser eye surgery; but can't anytime soon because I am unemployed so, have to wait until I get a new job; with insurance.
I just hope that he will ok, and the whole procedure will go well for him.

I will keep you all posted as it goes on; pray for him that all goes well; and that there will no complications; he will be 80 next month. Overall, his health is pretty good; thank god but, you never know.

I can relate. My Dad is 85 and is scheduled for surgery to have a cataract removed as well. I'm not sure of the date. I know he has a few tests to be done first so it will probably a few weeks yet. Anyways your Dad is in my prayers.

My brother repairs the lasers used for this surgery for a living, dont worry, its a very safe procedure. My Grampa had this surgery at 90!!! and he was able to spend his last 12 years without glasses! :)

My father has an appointment this wednesday but, it's not for surgery just yet. He has to go see the doctor, and after that they will schedule the appointment for surgery for one eye first; then wait for about a month or so to see how that one heals and everything. If that one is ok then they will schedule appointment for the other. I will keep you all posted. :wave:

Ihope everything goes well. i had open heart surgey when i was a baby. the doctors didn't think i was going to make it but i did. i also had back surgey when i was 12 years old. i have two metal rods in my back. i can't play any sports or left anything under 10 pound. i also had lots of ear surgeys. they put in metal tubes that was mistake.they took my ear tubes out then put it back in it made whole in my ear. so they had to fix my ear so i wouldn't have a whole in my ear.

your father is in my prayers.

Two summers ago I went to the eye doctor because of BLURRY VISION for like 90 seconds once or twice a week and the doctor told me they would have to move a muscle in my eye or I can just LIVE WITH IT and guess what folks???


I never got the surgery-lol Those blurry vision eps don't happen as frequent as they used to. In 2007 it was like 3 times a month, in February of 2009=ZERO

So it looks like overtime it just stop stopped happening

Your Dad is in my prayers. My husband had the same surgery two years ago. His recovery was quick. Please keep us posted.

I know many people who have had this kind of surgery and have come out seeing a hell of a lot better!:D I hope and pray everything goes well for your father. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family as well :bighug:

My father just got back from his appointment, and now he has to wait for the hospital to give him a call to make appointment to do surgery on one eye.

He will only get this call sometime in April and then once that eye is done; then they will probably call him to schedule appointment for the other one.

All should be done by the summer or later; don't know yet but regardless of that; he will be able to see a lot better. Keep You Posted!!

Yes, they usually do one eye at a time just in case there's complications. I'm sure he'll be just fine. My mother had it done about 18 years ago and it helped her SO much.

Be so thankful that we live in this day and age where these surgeries are possible. I had laser eye surgery done 7 years ago now and it was the best thing I ever did for myself!

I'll keep you and your dad in my thoughts. :)

Hi Everybody,

Here's the update on my dad for his eye surgery. He's going this friday for surgery on his left eye; he has lots of eye drops that he has to use.

Then, he will have to wait for them to call him back to go for the other one.
Probably, will be about a month later or so. I hope all goes well for him.

[Yooch]

All the best to your dad. Surgery these days seems to be getting better and better. I will keep your dad in my prayers.

[80s_Fan]

Today, is surgery day for my father; on his left eye. Hope all goes well for him. I will let you all know how he is afterwards, etc....

[80s_Fan]

Hey,

Well, today is the day after the surgery for my father; it went well for him.
He's going back this morning to have the doctor do a check up.

For certain things; he's noticing a difference; like it's clearer and sharper,
and other things, he can't see clearly; probably will clear up in a few days or so. We will have to wait and see in a few days or so; if there are any other problems or whatever; keep you all posted.

For the other eye; he will probably wait until maybe early June, or earlier than that; it's because the woman who brings him there and back will be on vacation from May 17 - June 2. Either way, he has to wait about a month.

[80s_Fan]

My father is gone to the hospital this morning; to have surgery for his other eye. I'm sure he will be just fine; no problems with the other one that was done.

[catlover79]

^ That's great. Thanks for the update. :D

My father is gone to the hospital this morning; to have surgery for his other eye. I'm sure he will be just fine; no problems with the other one that was done.

I'm glad that your dad is doing okay. :)
