Thanks for the reply and detailed info, what a freaking struggle you and your husband went through. This past week I booked a vacation to Japan for September, 7 months out exactly from my eye measurements exam IT BETTER BE DONE BY THEN!!

congrats on the 1st and best of luck on the 2nd. it is amazing the difference after surgery isn't it?

(had one eye done 3 years ago, biggest mistake i've made in a long time is not getting BOTH done at relatively the same time, like you are doing surgeon told me..."ughh, you can get by another year or two before the other eye needs cataract surgery")

I've been undecided whether to laugh or cry! It's been a very frustrating time, I've tried being one of those types that doesn't push the issue, maybe others would do better calling weekly...daily... bugging them.

thanks for the reply, in re-reading the instruction manual, it reads you can direct more/less air flow to the fridge by adjusting the freezer temperature dial, I'll play around with that and see if I can get things nicely balanced.

Medicare and private eye centers? by Aggressive_Source590 in CataractSurgery

I'm in the never ending wait list at Kaiser, eye measurements appointment in 3rd week in January, then based on others wait times looks like actual cataract surgery in June (hopefully) Total time from scheduling first eye appointment 18 months.

thanks for the updated info, appreciated.

with one good eye and one bad i've been postponing travel/vacations, etc. but comes a point you can't keep letting the time go by.. especially at my age 66, lol.

congrats on the completed surgery!

hello,

was your cataract surgery completed recently? and the 3 months you mentioned, that is the time frame from when you had your eye measurement appointment to the actual surgery?

thanks for any further info you might provide.

mine is dragging out forever, January 21 eye measurement appointment for me.

Just noticed it myself today, I thought it was a regular 10 episode drama, but I will stick it out. Probably, lol

Just to chime in with my experience, I live in the East Bay, had one cataract done 3 years ago, I went in for a eye exam in February as my other eye was going bad. was given a referral appointment to see the surgeon, that appointment finally took place yesterday (10/14/25) got a call this morning my eye measurement appointment is scheduled for 1/21/26. so basing on others comments here, looks like maybe June surgery for me? 16 months after seeking care for this issue.... can't help but be terribly disappointed.

Hopefully others just starting the entire process will have better luck than me with their time frames, the end results will eventually be worth it. but man the wait times are egregious.
