Racinbob 10,321 #26 Posted June 29, 2018 Sorry to hear about your issues, Bob. The dr explained the potential complications with this and I really didn't like the percentage at just under 10%. He also said that the vast majority that have complications have some other problem with their eyes. I don't have any other issues so I'll hand on to my optimism that I won't have any problems. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,902 #27 Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks to both Bobs (Maynard and Racin) for reporting both the good and the bad results. I am waiting for the insurance to cover the removal of my cataracts. They will not pay until my vision cannot be corrected with glasses. I guess they don't consider night driving a necessity. I avoid driving at night unless in an emergency, and night driving in the rain is not possible. I often wonder how many accidents are caused by night drivers with cataracts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,235 #28 Posted June 29, 2018 Imagine 6 lanes of traffic going around Chicago and you can't see the lines for the lanes. That was scary...and it was before I had mine done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your opthomologist won't tell the insurance company that you need cataract surgery, see another doctor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
