Gwen's Cataract / LENSX Surgery
Donation protected
I need to have cataract surgery ASAP. I am unable to see cleary for more than about four feet, and everything I look at is either blurry or cloudy, with double vision and a sensitivity to light. Cataracts are the most common cause of vision loss in people older than 40, and are the main cause of blindness. I cannot even identify my family at a distance,.
My eyesight in my left eye is 20/100. A calculation of 20/50 is considered visually impaired. 20/200 is legally blind, and they do not have lines that measures visual acuity between 20/100 and 20/200.
The Surgeon wants to do the LenSX Femtosecond Custom Laser Cataract Surgery. At the same time he wants to do the Symfony Toric Implant which will correct distance, intermediate, and astigmatism. The double vision and halos will also be a thing of the past.
My eyesight has worsened to the point that I am afraid to drive especially at night. I see halos and starbursts off of car lights, street lights, and basically any type of light at all. The double vision is so bad that I can look at the vehicle in front of me and all of a sudden I will see two cars, along with two lanes of traffic. I then have to close my left eye in order to see which car and lane is really there.
I am scheduled for surgery on my left eye which is the worst and have to have full payment at my pre-op appointment on August 29, 2017.
The first surgery on my left eye is scheduled for September 12, 2017, and the second surgery for my right eye scheduled for September 26, 2017. There is no possible way I can come up with money to have these procedure done to restore my eye sight and vision without help.
The total cost of both operations is $6288.46.
If you find it in your heart, or feel able to help in any way, please know that you will be a blessing to me and my family. I don't know what else to say other than I really do not want to lose my eyesight. Giving this to God now and praying for help to get these surgeries done so my vision will be restored. Regardless of whether or not you can help would you please say a prayer for me? I believe in prayer and know that prayers are answered. Thank you and may God bless you all!
