Went in for cataract surgery last Wednesday. Eyesight was down to 20:90 at that time. I have several additional risk factors, which I fully informed them about beforehand. The surgery went bad. Ended up in the hospital Wednesday afternoon and most of Thursday.
I am totally blind in my left eye today. They will decide in the next two weeks if there can be anything salvaged with additional surgery. If possible, it will never come back to decent eyesight. My right eye has cataracts forming, but I won't be going in for it until I cannot see to shoot.
I guess I am the 1 in 100 they talk about when they have you sign the "informed consent" forms.
