So yesterday I talked to a few people about their cataract surgery and if I can offer any advice at all it would be to pay attention to billing and timing.

That's great news about the surgery being a breeze. Glad it worked out so well for you. Thanks.

  Maybe with near vision option it doesn't matter but when I got the far vision, I got 2 prescriptions for glasses.

  My reading glasses are 2.50 and my computer glasses are 1.25 with the Blue Light filter.

Reading glasses are different than what you need using the computer, plus they don't have that Blue Light filter.

Surgery is a breeze. I got the near vision and I still have two weeks before I can get glasses so I'm struggling a bit. That said, the difference is well worth the effort. Contrast is a wonderful thing.

If I wear a pair of 25 yr old glasses, I can even read road signs now!

Hello, db. So how did the cataract surgery go? I'm scheduled for my first eye in late June/early July.

  If you had the basic lenses like I got and they used to inject those eye drops, I wish I would have had that option.

Evidently is was.

When my wife looked at the card she mused that the flowers were actually for her 'cause they screwed up twice causing problems for her.

I picked up the mug they are in and noticed their logo is on it so it must be standard practice.

Perhaps if I'd have spent more, I'd get to hear this sound when I picked up the mug.

Anyway, I can now read this forum on my phone held vertically and overall contrast, color, clarity... wow. Nannanannananna

Not kidding. Was that ever a thing?

  It's not for the basic lenses I got a year ago and my brother last month,
  Maybe it's the type of eye surgery you're having?
  I guess the flowers are a nice touch but you'd think they would come afterwards?

  I'd worry if they brought a WHITE cane 

Soooo, I get a phone call today about a flower delivery... Wait? What? Huh? For who...? (it's the anniversary of my mother's death and I may have sent flowers for someone else's funeral recently and screwed up the from and to...)

Anyway, he didn't know but he was at my door and long story short, they were from my cataract surgeon's office.

I get it and it's a nice gesture and all but now I'm wondering if I should be worried?

And FWIW, the new guy I saw yesterday for my day after appointment told me the drops I brought along wouldn't have been needed but for supply chain issues. Normally in the past they would have just injected all those drops directly into the eye so there would be no worries about drops.

Not kidding. Was that ever a thing?
