New Eyes - Literally!
I am now the recipient of two ocular lenses to replace the natural lenses in my eyes. I had a cataract in my left eye, so my eye specialist referred me to an eye surgeon. Long story short, after several weeks, I now no longer need contacts or eyeglasses! Yippee!
I have to tell you that the world looks different. I've worn glasses since about second grade. To be able to wake up, open my eyes and see clearly is amazing!
My vision wasn't great at first, though. It was blurry and my eyes were dilated for a few days. After about a week, the vision in my left eye was quite good and then I had the right eye done. It's been a challenge to read the computer screen during this time, but now I am "up and running" again. hee hee
For the next month I will be using three different eye drops four times a day (I have to wait 5 minutes between each drop). Basically, I'll be spending an hour a day putting drops in my eyes and then closing them. Kind of crazy!

Merri, that is wonderful....as I get older my eyes are getting worse...and I sometimes think about having something done...but I am in denial....I just wear my little readers all the time and pretend it makes me look intelligent and cute!
Glad to hear you are doing well...hugs and love,M
