Subject: Re: [ACEsthetics] Eye surgery
Let me help you put this in perspective for you. I have had both eyes done due to cataracts.
As far as your fear with the procedure, OK there is risk, but it is minimal. The procedure literally takes about as much time for the surgeon to do as it does for us to do an occlusal restoration, maybe even less. And that is after L/A has taken effect. They do these things ROUTINELY, and they are EASY for them just. About as routine as it gets, just like an O composite on #19 is for you. Yes, there is more risk if something goes wrong vs. the composite, but it is a very straightforward procedure. Choose your surgeon well, and you are fine. If all goes well, you'll be in and out of the OR in 12 minutes.
As far as no glasses goes, um not so sure about that. I had one eye done for distance and one eye done for reading. It does NOT work for me. I MUST have my reading glasses to read now. I will be having my reading eye adjusted for distance vision via lasik. If you are going to do it, my advice would be to have both eyes done for distance vision, and commit to wearing reading glasses for the rest of your life. We dentists are usually too detail oriented to tolerate trying to read with one eye.
If you don't want to commit to reading glasses forever, don't have the procedure done. You will be trading your regular glasses/contact lenses for reading glasses, so you will still be carrying around glasses everywhere anyway. If this isn't enough for you, don't do this procedure.
Hope this help you, Jeff.

Has anyone on here had the eye surgery where that put intraocular lenses in? They say that you can do this and never have to wear glasses again and that it does treat presbyopia (old age eyes).
I am curious about your experience and outcomes. I am thinking about doing it. It is a tad expensive but the lifestyle change would make it more than worth it. My concern is that someone is actually doing surgery on my eyes. If they hiccup in the middle of it I hate to think of what could happen.
Thanks,
Jeff
