Just to let you know how the cataract op goes, you basically get to look into a light while the guy digs your old lens out with a scalpel, although you can't feel much you get the vibration, a bit like at the dentists, your knuckles go well white as you grip the arm of the chair as he scrapes about getting rid of all the old lens, you get to watch it all, a bit blurry of course because he's just destroyed what's left of your sun damaged lens.
Trust me, my time over again, I'd never go on the water without shades...
Plus after cataract op:
1).There is no focusing on near/far objects.
2). About 60% get vitriol body detachment from the retina. While not immediately dangerous it results in 10-15 percent risk of retina detachment over next 5 years. So effectively you have 1 in 14/20 chance of going almost blind. Which they don't tell you.
3)Don't beleive sh***t they tell you about being able to exersize in 2 weeks. My eye was hurting for 6 month every time I tried tennis or a run. I wish I would wait for at least 2 month before I made any attempts of sports!
4)Everyone gets lots of floaters in the field of vision as a side effect doctors consider minor. It is not.
5)The vitriol body detachment results in the gel - like body wobble every time you move your head or eyes. This wobble stops you seeing properly out of the eye for several tens of a second, which means your reaction time after a landing or just a sharp head turn goes to hell.
Pls wear sunglasses. I wish I did. And I only go on holiday for 2 weeks a year and work in an office. So normally do not have a lot of direct sun exposure.
Could also be computer monitor! You can get slightly yellowish computer lenses which stop harmful blue light from the monitor too.
