As I am reading experiences, I have come to realize that all of us have experienced a wide range of cataract surgery experiences. My surgery was performed by top notch opthamologistin my local community, who has been monitoring my cataracts and caring for my vision for at least 30 years. I trusted him to perform my surgery because he knows me and he knows my vision history.
He started me on my eye drops prior to and after the procedure. He also schedules follow-ups after the surgery and encourages phone calls. I know of people in my community who do not see the surgeon except on the day of the cataract procedure. So that is another difference that we can experience and something to seriously consider when planning for your procedure.

Here is information from my favorite medical resource:
"Your risk of complications is higher if you have another eye disease or a serious medical condition. Sometimes, cataract surgery doesn't improve vision because of underlying eye damage from other conditions. These may include glaucoma or macular degeneration. If possible, it is good to evaluate and treat other eye problems before deciding to have cataract surgery." - from the Mayo Clinic Health Information Library:

What did you learn from the Overview that applies to yourself? What risk did you observe that you will want to communicate to your own cataract surgeon? How confident are you about proceeding with your own treatment?
