Good luck to you.....you are brave.....is it where they remove the vitreous, let wrinkles go flat and then replace vitreous....OR where they go in with an instrument and iron out the wrinkles? Did cataract Dr tell you before? mine didn't.....do you have puckers in both eyes? I have in both.....I'm not having cataract removed from my "good" eye, at least I can read with that one.....All the best..

Yes, I was told before cataract surgery. Bummer, because I really wanted to have the triple lens that would give me near, med and distance vision in both eyes. Because of the pucker, I couldn’t have that.

There is a minor pucker in my left eye, but nothing I’ve noticed, so not going to do anything about it.

In reality, I wish I hadn’t done anything with my “good” left eye, either. The surgeon decided to give me mono vision, with near vision in my left eye. He said he was “saving me money”on the implant. Makes it very hard to drive, especially with the pucker in my right eye. Oh, so now I also wear a contact in my left eye.
