I had an early morning check up on my left eye. My cataract surgery was on May 4th, and it's been smooth sailing in recovery.
This morning the tech said that I am "the poster child for cataract surgery," as my eye now is 20/20 just like my right eye. (I had cataract surgery on that eye in 2016)
I'm getting used to just using readers, but I read a lot so I bought a five pack of readers and have them stashed around my usual reading spots. I keep a pair in my purse as well.
I found myself reaching to push up glasses that aren't there, as I have worn glasses for about 32 years.
My vision is crisp and clear, and I bought inexpensive sunglasses for the first time in 'forever!' That's been fun!
I put surgery off for nearly two years due to cov*d, and I am thankful that I was able to get it done now.
Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI had both eyes done this past Oct/Nov - 2 weeks apart and at first everything was great. But around March I started developing floaters which I never had. My eye doctor told me the cure for floaters can be dangerous so I am opting to just learn to live with them. So yeah, I'm disappointed especially after a couple of months of doing well.
I opted to be able to see up close instead of far away. I'm used to wearing eyeglasses and they are part of me - everybody knows me with eyeglasses. At least I can see when I get out of bd in the middle of the night, which I couldn't do before.
Glad everything has turned out so well!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! You must feel so free without those glasses.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for your successful surgery outcome!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent report! I have my first eye appointment since 1970 next week. Hoping for a prescription for distance for driving.

ReplyDeleteOurs was simple as well. But we still wear glasses.
So happy you had this done and it is behind you!
Gentle hugs
