Re: Cataract Surgery
@Alysia — So far, no evidence of cataracts in my eyes. My ophthalmologist checks for them every six months. He is aware of pred induced cataracts and was very pleased to learn that I have gotten off it.
I wear hybrid contact lenses. They have a hard contact (just covers the iris) embedded in a soft contact that covers more of the cornea. I wear these because of astigmatism that soft contacts alone can’t correct. They are very comfortable, and I wear them 10-14 hours a day.
I care for my lenses properly and have had no problems with them.
My wife also wears soft contacts, and she has dry eyes. She uses drops (Restasis I think) to deal with dry eyes and has no issues.
Dwell on the good news about the “good” eye. Who knows, your surgically corrected eye may grow better as you age.
