Had my left eye done approximately 12 months after the right eye.

Look at the colours !I realized how much my cataracts were affecting my eyesight then.
Oh yes!!!My right eye was the first to be done and I only realised just how bad it was when about a week prior to the Operation I went out to the local Rifle Club for a shoot. I got down onto the 600 yard mound and could not even see the target butts, let alone the target!! Just one whitish opaque blur! Trying to shoot with both eyes open (which I normally did, and continue to do) did not help!

Once the op was done, it took quite some time to get over the vivid colours of....well. everything!

And after the left eye was done, it was even more so. And now I have 'perfect' distance vision and only need glasses for reading.

All CASA wanted was a short report from the Surgeon who performed the operations.
