When I had the operation they did two procedures, the first was a cataract lens replacement due to the amount of steroid drops I have to take for the cornea and the second was to excise a granuloma that was a result of the squint surgery from a couple of years ago.
The new lens has done wonders, instead of foggy vision, I now have clear vision in my left eye and the power has been set a bit stronger than the right eye so a slight improvement. However the prescription in my glasses for that eye is now wrong and will need to be updated in a few weeks time. The bit that I have found really interesting is that I am currently perceiving that the colour balance in each eye is now slightly different. So my left eye sees things with a colder bluish tint where my right eye sees with a warmer golden tint. I suspect that a lot of this is down to my brain adjusting to having good vision in my left eye again but even so it is a bit odd.
As for the growth, well the eye is nicely bloodshot (will try and take a picture later) and as long as I don’t move my eyes at all it barely hurts. The last few words there are the key bit. In any case Wednesday morning I see my GP to hand over a load of paperwork from the hospital and Thursday afternoon I return to the hospital for the post operative checkup with the consultant, to see how things really are.

The color balance thing has to be rather odd. Sounds like you’re doing well!

I’m pretty sure the color thing would drive me batty.
