Well, almost. I had the lens of one eyeball replaced yesterday, the other one will be junked and replaced this fall. Cateract surgery. Didn't want to mention it here until I felt that I would recover. The doctor said it will take a couple of days to adjust, and to wear an eye cover at night for 2-3 days, and to take the drops he prescribed for a couple of weeks, and to come in in a couple of weeks to see if he made any mistakes, and to quit crying over junking the expensive trifocals he had prescribed only six months before. They gave me some green goggles to wear home and wear for a day or two outside. There will be follow-up tests later. I am test-driving the new lens now and quite a difference. I have cut the brightness on the tv and monitor screens in the house. The other eye is following along like a wounded duck. It will be late fall before I get the other lens replaced. The replacements seem to be much better than they were a few years ago and there is almost no recovery time now- My wife had it done 3-4 years ago, and she had to use a patch for a few days. The old model natural lens in my other eye (worse than 20-40)) is not only fuzzy, but the focus is different. He said let the new lens do the leading. After a week or so try out the different reading glasses I have collected- the least correction that helps with the vision in the untreated eye. He said it may be a few days before I get used to reading with the new lens.
Looks like I made the right decision, though. My eyes are getting tired so I had better stop until tomorow.
