Hi all , i have just seen a Optician who informed me I have cataracts and has referred me to hospital clinic . I don't know anyone who has them removed and wondered if anyone on here has any experience of having any treatment for them.

My friend had cataracts removed from both eyes (in separate procedures). She said that, despite her natural apprehension, it was incredibly simple and straightforward and she experienced no real problems at all. Useful info here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cataract-surgery/

Yes I have had two cataracts removed, so has my wife. She has also had a much bigger operation for macular hole. All well with both of us. No problems.
My experience wa s totally different to Atheist's. I had both cataracts done and was given an injection in the corner of my eye after which I could not feel anything.I did not have a hood over my head and could see the surgeon in front of me although I could feel nothing in the eye.A completely painless operation.
