Anyone have vision issues?

Yes, the cataract IOL's have been around forever. To me, it sounds a little
aggressive to remove a perfectly good lens (albeit somewhat stiff and
non-compliant, like my aging ones) and replace it with a plastic one.

Messing around with the cornea can have it's own set of complications that
can be devastating, but intraocular problems can be much, much worse.

Of course, this is my impression as an orthopaedic surgeon, where my
favorite tools are the three pound mallet and the two foot long Sear's bolt
cutter.


Heh heh... I had a plate and screws removed from my forearm while I was under a
regional block once. Apparently, the plate didn't want to let go so the doc had
to put some ass on it to get it to turn loose. BAM BAM BAM!!!!

"Jeez... what the hell's going on over there?", I asked. I couldn't feel it but
I sure could hear it. Sounded like he was using a 10 pound sledge. Now I know
I wasn't far off.

When the compressor motor kicked on is when you should have balked.
