| Vision after cataract surgery |
The time is near for my cataract surgeries. Dec 5 is the left eye; Dec 19 the right eye. It is difficult to see well. I have stopped doing the jigsaw puzzles for now. Stopped writing posts or reading blogs. I have trouble reading labels when I buy food. I haven't started writing out Christmas cards yet. It has come down to the need to just take it easy for now, not reading books or magazines, just listening to music or watching documentaries on Netflix. Monday morning (today) I go to the eye doctor office for final measurements of the lenses that will be in my eyes after the surgery. Since I have had mono vision most of my life, the left lens will be for up close and the right for distance. My dear friends are having fun fighting over who "gets" to drive me to the surgery center and then the next day to the doctor office. I am so ready to have these surgeries and to see again. Thank goodness the numbers on the bingo sheets are large size!
I hope you enjoy the after effects as much as hubby has! He had worn uncomfortable glasses for years and years and no longer has to.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
will keep you in my thoughts and prayers in the next couple weeks as you go through surgery...
ReplyDeleteThose I know who have had cataract surgery have been very happy with it. I will be hoping yours goes very well.
ReplyDeleteI have a cataract in my left eye but not the right. I will be thinking of you and watching your progress, imagining my own surgery. My husband has been thrilled with his new eyes for a decade now! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine seeing like that
ReplyDeletesomething I certainly don't look forward to. Wishing you the best recovery.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your surgeries! My dad is very happy with his eyes since having his cataracts removed.
ReplyDeleteI know of a few people who were thrilled after cataract surgery. I'm sure you will be too.
ReplyDeleteI know several people who've had this surgery and I hope you are as thrilled with the results as they were.
ReplyDeleteI have also heard great things about this - wishing you the best of luck and looking forward to seeing more posts from you when it is all over.
ReplyDeleteI hope that all goes well for you and your vision is clear again SOON!
ReplyDeleteDid the surgery go as expected?
ReplyDeleteCici, I hope your surgery went well. Won't be long until the second eye is done and you will be 'like a new one." - silly expression but one I like! :)
ReplyDeleteMay all turn out well. !3 years ago I had it done and for some time I had awesome vision but now I've got macula degeneration and the left eye that once had retinal detach is just pinhole sight. I struggle very much to blog now. I fear I will soon be down to once in a month if that.
