Praying!!

And yes, my mom had cataract surgery at age 82 with zero troubles and it worked well.

My dad has had cataract surgery and it was easy and he came out with better vision than he had had in many decades. Best wishes to your GFIL.

My parents, in laws, and both sets of grandparents all had cataract surgery with no problems (and a lot of benefit).

My dad, grandfather, grandmother, and Grandmother-in-law all had cataract surgery with no problems.

My dad had it and no complications at all! It helped him tremendously. Prayers for the same outcome!

[MooCow]

Prayers being said! Both my parents had it and it went great.

DH has stage IV cancer. With his oncologist's okay he had cataract surgery last year. It went fine. No trouble at all. I know several older people who've had cataract surgery, and I can't think of anyone who had any problem. Good luck to your GFIL!

Praying for you GFIL.

[Melissa Louise]

Sending good thoughts. 

[Katy]

Prayers said!  I'm sure it will go fine.

Sending good thoughts for a smooth, complication free procedure. My mom recently had hers done, one at a time, with no complications and she has lots of health and eye conditions.

My great aunt had it. After a few days she was laying in her bed and looked up to the ceiling and was Shocked to see how many spider webs there were

My dad's first eye is being done this month!  Many prayers for your GFIL!!!  I know he will do great!

My mom (very complicated medical issues) recently had this done. It went really well and she is amazed at the difference in how well she sees as well as the color difference. She’s someone who always has complicated issues and didn’t have any with this. She now wishes she had done it years ago.

My mom had hers done two or three years ago and it went great.  She was so happy she had it done.

[Selkie]

Our family friend had it done and everything went smoothly.

[Innisfree]

My parents both had cataracts removed when they were in their eighties. Each had one eye done at a time. All the procedures went smoothly, with easy recoveries. They were glad to have more vision back, and commented particularly on how vivid colors were after the surgery. Hope your GFIL enjoys his recovered sight just as much!

Thinking good thoughts for him. 

[regentrude]

Sending good thoughts. My 75 y/o friend had cataract surgery this summer, I drove her. Picked her up two hours later, we had a picnic lunch, and the next day she drove herself to her checkup and that afternoon she was back at her gardening. Other eye a few weeks later, same deal.

[J-rap]

Every single person I've known who has had cataract surgery had no problems at all.  Easy!  

[Wishes]

Sending lots of positive thoughts. My mom, dad, and grandmother had cataract  surgery  with  no problems whatsoever. My former-nurse mother was very excited that they gave her a video of the procedure. My dad…not so much. 😊

[kbutton]

I know lots of people for whom it went perfectly well, and their eyesight improved greatly. 

[fraidycat]

Sending good thoughts that everything goes smoothly. 

[Harriet Vane]

I understand your fear! I experienced the same dichotomy. One beloved person in my life had a negative outcome. BUT two others who had cataract surgery did great. Fabulously so. Decades of thankfulness. 
 

So I get it—am praying—and reassuring, too, that chances are that all will be well. 

[cintinative]

Praying it goes/went well!!
