My dad had one eye done three weeks ago, he's having the other done next week. His first surgery was less than 2 hours, they took him in at 7:00 am, I was bringing him home by 9:00. I'm amazed at how quickly he recovered, he was able to drive the very next day.

It's made a big difference for him, he said colors looked brighter.

They've made such advances in cataract surgery. 20 years or so ago, a girlfriend of mine developed them after taking prednisone. She missed a month of work, and had to either wear extreme coke-bottle glasses, or removable contact. Later she was able to get the lens implants.
