I have to have both eyes done, hopefully will be fully recovered before the forum. Sucks to get old!

good luck steve. i had lasik about 5 years ago. they cut both my corneas open. the eye heals fast. you'll be fine. and they'll give ya a handfull of vicodins ;)

All that masturbating takes its toll (do it enough and it will make you blind).

Good luck and be sure to post pix of you with a patch over your eye...

Dam bro! that's crazy I hope everything goes well, and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Are you not eligible for Laser Eye Surgery? Why are you having a lens implanted?

Good luck, Steve. I had cataract surgery a few years ago or go blind. I'm very glad that I did even though I wear bifocals to read and watch tv now.

Don't worry at all. My wife had it done last September. She had the bandage removed that very afternoon and could see brilliantly. She then took antibiotics for a week and antibiotic drops for 2 (to ward off infection). She also had to sleep with a patch over the eye for 2 weeks. Other than that it was smoother that I had imagined it would be.
She did ask for a general anaesthetic, thoug it seems most do it under a deep local.
She's getting her other eye done next month...she has cataracts too.

Cataracts cannot be removed with a laser, only through a surgical incision. There are laser devices for cataract removal under investigation, but none are approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

best of luck

wish you to have it all good ..!
best luck !

Hope everything goes well.

good luck man :thumbsup

Oh duh, for some reason I was confusing cataracts with astigmatism.

Well, good luck.

Good luck

good luck. you wear contacts?

my sister has a cataract - depressed me more than her, all i could think was 'fuck, a cataract? we're all getting old!' not sure if hers is age related or yours is - think there are other reasons for developing cataracts other than just getting older.

Mine has more to do with this:

Hope it all goes well, sucks getting old thou :winkwink:

Best of luck and recover fast!

i hope you were unconscious when they rescued you cuz the rescue looks scarier to me than a fall. Did you ever meet the rescuers after you recovered? Sounds like the chopper pilot saved your life.

God speed and a quick recovery with that!:winkwink:

oh god that's tomorrow?!! i will say my prayers for you tonight and sweat it tomorrow til i know it's over. that eye shit freaks me out, yikes! :(

I was in and out. I do remember being lifted out though.

ahahahah - i was just thinking, at the time these rescue workers and doctors were trying to save two young guys' lives thinking 'they're young, they have so much life ahead of them, so much potential, dammit we have to save them!' I wonder if they knew one of them would fulfill his potential peeping up 18 year old girls skirts if they would have tried a little less harder! :1orglaugh

ouch, that hurts

oh come on - we're all in the same boat that way in this business. there are people out there who would try less to help us i bet. just part of being in a business that some people think is wrong.

Good luck and speedy recovery Steve

Answer #7 in my ambush interview tells this whole story

oooh, eye surgery sux... I had to have it 3 yrs ago for a partially disconnected retina... just happened one day with no warning. Shit sucked... especially the bill, but eyes do recover pretty quickly. :)

Best wishes. I'm a puss and can't handle anything getting close to my eyes.

Good luck mate.

Good luck Steve!

one of the fastest healing organs in the human body, you will be fine

The stress is worse than the event... you will feel much better after.

lens implating is a newer and safer technology. They don´t cut your corneea, only make a small hole in your iris.

Good luck, Steve!

good luck man!
