    My dad had his done a few years ago and he has 20/20 vision in one eye - he said it was absolutely painless. His other eye is another story - I was with him went he went and had it lasered a few times for MD and shudder at just the thought of it...huge needle and painful. Congratulations! sammieswife

    Question: Does this surgery help floaters in the eyes ?????

    yes that might stop them OUTLAW

    I don't think they would do anything for floaters. Floaters are inside the eye itself and cataract surgery doesn't go into the eye. It deals with the lens alone and the sac that holds the lens in place.

    wasblind...I thought you already had eye surgery given your name!

    I also have floaters in my eyes and I asked my optometrist last night when I was getting an eye exam....she told me these are normal for my age (58) and that I should live with it.

    Great, Lee. Floaters have to do with your retina, internal as Lee said. Get an eye exam if you have that problem asap, it can get worse, the retina releasing from the back of the eye.
