Eye Update

 So I don't remember if I told you the latest on my eye.

Today I am two weeks out from my cataract surgery. When I went last week for a one week check, my vision was 20/30, and they think that it will be 20/20 by my next and last check on June 2nd. 

There is a chance that 20/30 is as good as it will be, but there is still a bit of inflammation and that could be the reason it's not 20/20. Also I still have some astigmatism.

No matter. I am seeing so well, now and really only need my glasses for reading, as I have progressive lenses. I am hoping that after June 2nd, when I go to see my normal eye doctor, that I will only need readers!

Oh to buy regular sunglasses again! Or sunglasses with just a reading prescription!

I found some on Amazon.

Lots of fun choices for not a lot of money! Sorry the photos are a bit blurry. In order to show them here I enlarged the photos and sadly they are blurred. If you want to see them unblurred, click on either the photo or the source and it will take you to those glasses on Amazon.  (if you purchase anything through one of these links, I get a teeny tiny bit of credit)

New Eyewear

My old frames were 5 years old, and I had the lenses changed out one time.  When I went for an eye exam in the late summer of 2016, I was surprised to find that I had a cataract on my right eye!

That was taken care of in December, then my "eyeball wizard" as my dad says, did a quick laser treatment to deal with a bit of thickening in the scar tissue.

After all the recovery time, I finally got an appointment scheduled to have a new exam.  I was very excited because I needed new frames and the prescription no longer was right due to my surgery!

Five years ago when I first got the old frames.

Glasses on the left the old glasses, on the right new glasses.  The photos on the right were taken this morning while I was on a job site with Tim.  Grey and gloomy day with some rain.

I made two videos yesterday to send to Emma, and I decided to share them here, too!  Does anyone else think they sound like a dork on video, or is it just me?

I am very happy with my glasses and I think they look fresh and young!
