Wilbur ★ Posted January 22, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 22, 2020 To leave the hospital after cataract surgery, you need a responsible adult to drive. After eye number one, the nurse assumed the attractive young female was my girlfriend. After eye number two, the doctor assumed she was my daughter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted January 22, 2020 Share #7 Posted January 22, 2020 Depends on who the attractive young female is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted January 22, 2020 Share #8 Posted January 22, 2020 Be happy with both..., the nurse (assuming the nurse was female) looked at you and felt that you were handsome and studly enough that you could have an attractive young girlfriend..., And the Doctor (if male) looked at the attractive young girl as a someone's daughter, instead of perving on her thinking she hooks up with older men and does freaky things for their money 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How soon before you can fly again? Don't be surprised if every now and then you get a sense of vision overload. Perhaps it doesn't happen to everyone but for the first month or two I would get a strange feeling in a place like a brightly lit supermarket (american style) where all the colors and things would be a bit disorienting for a few seconds. I think it was the muscles in my eyes trying to focus or adjust the lens that they no longer controlled. Of course that could just be me as I'm disoriented much of the time anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bright lights in the supermarket are a shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 23, 2020 Share #13 Posted January 23, 2020 Quick question Wilbur. Can you focus at the distance of your instruments or will you need to wear glasses. Mine were progressives with a 0 prescription over my reading glasses to solve all my distance problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need readers for close up stuff but just 1.45. The instrument panel and further is crystal clear. It is amazing. I could have gone the variable focus route but Transport Canada delays return to work another 6 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted January 23, 2020 Share #16 Posted January 23, 2020 Good. I needed a 2.5 for the readers and my work area was probably a bit closer than the instrument panel. The real pain was working in the microscope on ckt boards. I would have to put on my readers to find a part in the kit next to my hand and then take them off to go back into the scope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the downsides were colour definition and potential for light halo's so that ruled them out for me. Readers for up close items is a small enough compromise for me. 95% of the time, I won't need glasses at all. I am happy with the choice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole thread was educational....for my partner who will be needing cataract surgery within next 12 months or so. I passed the thread to him.
