Another Blogger Tells Tale of Cataract Surgery

In March I wrote about my Cataract Surgery.

I have just learned of an extensive essay by Jon Maloney, the writer of Orts Blog, that goes into extensive detail about all that he experienced, before, during, and after, his own surgery.

I have recently had cataract surgery. I am 52 years old and have lived with growing cataracts for at least eighteen years. Before the surgery I tried to research several types of details on the Internet -- details I was unable to find. I wanted to know simple things like: How many doctor's appointments will be required? What will be the purpose of each appointment? What procedures will be performed at each appointment? How much will everything cost? In this post I will answer those questions and more based on my experiences. I will simply show the charges listed on my insurance forms, rather than the amounts I paid. I'm sure your charges will differ based on your region, your doctor, and your insurance (or lack of insurance). My surgery was in Anderson, South Carolina, USA.

The report is outstanding, and informative, and highly recommended for anyone contemplating having the procedure.

I have just gone thru a 2nd series of tests that have finalized the prescription for Bifocals so i can better read a computer screen, and my books, and magazines as well.

I will still use my current glasses for distance vision, and watching TV.

Wow Kiril. What kind praise for my post. I feared people would find the post too long and tedious. I wrote it because it's exactly the sort of information I wished I had been able to find during my pre-surgery research. Perhaps it will help others considering surgery. Thanks!
