Can cataract surgery restore 20/20 vision?

When one has cataract surgery the old, cloudy lens in your eye is replaced by a new lens. I never had the procedure done but know a few people who have. It takes around 20 minutes per eye and only one eye is done at a time, if both eyes need to be done.

Vision is restore to 20/20 as the new lens is put in to correct the vision. If you have bifocals for reading, that will stay the same however, from what I undestand. Your distance vision will possibly change over time however as the new lens will change just like your original lens.

I have a few uncles who had the procedure done several years ago and neither have had to go back to wearing glasses yet. My one uncle is quite apprehensive about any form of surgery and he said there was nothing to it and anyone that needs it done should go and do it without fears.

Before surgery, eye drops will be placed on the eye to dilate or widen the pupil, making it easier for the surgeon to see the cloudy lens. A cataract is the clouding of the lens due to protein clumping. A cataract surgery involves a very small incision on the surface of the eye and would not require stitches after the operation.

Through this incision an untrasound tool is inserted. This tool shatters the lens, then suctioned through a tube. A folded intraocular lens is then inserted, and tis unfolds by itself to replace the old one.

The eye is then covered with a shield for protection. Blurred vision is corrected because the cloudy lens has been replaced, thus improving vision. If you have 20/20 vision before, it might be restored.

Clients that had surgery said that they experienced clarity and color vividness. To learn more about the surgery go to eyecataract.blogspot.com/2010/11/18-surg....

By mid-afternoon, my vision quality had improved dramatically. But my visual acuity still was less than expected. I was still more myopic than emmetropic, and I was unhappy about that.

But, all in all, my day of surgery was totally uneventful. I took my prescribed eye drops to prevent infection and reduce swelling, and hoped for the best. I woke up on the first day after surgery and could not wait to remove my eye shield.

My vision was a little more blurry than the day before, and I tried to explain this as overnight corneal swelling resulting from hypoxia (low oxygen) to the eye. Different factors can cause this, including stagnant tears that aren't blinked away during the night. Regardless of the cause, this kind of swelling can cause a greater myopic shift.

My near vision was still pretty good. I kept taking my eye drops. And by afternoon on the first postoperative day, the view through my right eye was like nothing I had ever recalled seeing before: clear and colorful in ways that even my best eyesight in younger years could not duplicate.

My vision was at least 20/25 before I had undergone cataract surgery. But this new 20/25 vision was not only different, but amazing. I equated my new vision to the day I had purchased my first high-definition (plasma screen) television (HDTV).

It was like looking at the world on an HDTV with my right eye and an old analog (cathode ray tube) television with my left eye. At this point, the "wax paper" sensation appeared to be in front of my left eye, which I had never noticed before the surgery on my right eye. And the left eye supposedly had been my good eye.

Clearly, I was no longer myopic.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
