I have been told by my my optician that I have cattarcts in both eyes. I also see little black 'floaters' that wizz across my left eye when I look from side to side. He said to make an appointment with the hospital to have the cattacts removed. What does this involve please? Is it painful? Many thanks.

Hola Neville, I just had cataracts removed from both eyes at the same time about a week ago. I understand that is not usually done but I live in Costa Rica and things are different here, I guess???? The procedure is absolutely painless and both eyes took less that an hour. It was rather a good time with lots of colored lights, etc.... So don't worry. My only problem was while being driven home that evening I developed a headache from the lights of on coming cars, tail lights, street lights and everything had a halo around it. Again pretty but after a while too much. Finally put my cap over my eyes. The next day all was gone. Good luck, nothing to it. Alan

Thank you Allan, I don't know if they do, remove from both eyes at the same time, here in England. But that's good that was painless for you, except for the headache. That reassures me. I imagine the weather in Costa Rica is hot? Best wishes, Neville.

It's not painful. It's quick and easy. That's not to say that rarely some people don't have a good experienece. It is the most often performed and safest surgery there is. I suggest you do some thorough research. Don't get all of your information from this site. You need to get the facts. Good luck. By the way, I had a good experience.
