I could see colours much better once I had the surgery - they were so much more vivid! The upside to having had them done so young is that I will never need new glasses unless I fancy some new ones as once you have lens replacements your prescription doesn't change.

The one on my right is is fairly advanced but the left is no where near as developed. They can be removed with lens replacement surgery, once developed sufficiently. It is preferable to do both together so it may mean losing my sight on one side for a while. Time will tell and until that point I will carry on regardless.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-59878904758810293392016-06-10T20:24:27.354+01:002016-06-10T20:24:27.354+01:00Sink or swim.

The first appeared and developed so quickly that I was blind in that eye within a couple of months - I couldn't see my hand in front of my face with that eye. In the 6 weeks from it being found until it was operated on I had developed another in the other eye, but that was much slower growing. I have since had the first one go cloudy again, so a series of holes were lasered into it which solved the problem. I was warned it would probably happen due to being comparatively young when I had the surgery.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-791471571447029722016-06-10T18:45:30.450+01:002016-06-10T18:45:30.450+01:00Pam you are such a breathe of fresh air, putting a...Pam you are such a breathe of fresh air, putting a positive on everything.
