It's very common to have to go back a year or so after a cataract surgery and a film has grown over the lens that is put in. The handy dandy lazar just clears it up in a few seconds. When I had my appointment the surgeon had just gotten the new piece of equipment and he was like a little boy with a new toy. When he was through, he said he still got a thrill being able to make people see better after all the years he has been doing it. If you are having problems ALWAYS go back or find another doctor.

I appreciate everyone's good wishes. I had the left eye done yesterday and I can already see a difference in my vision. We do the other eye next Wed. I am looking forward to it.

My current eye problems have nothing to do with my cataract surgery. It is another thing entirely.
