Getting back to normal..

2nd cataract surgery was today. There was a little more discomfort with this one, but I'm doing fine now. Now I can get back to what I normally do.. reading, cross stitch, surfing the web.. planning a Guardianship renewal party.. and I don't go back to work til a week from tomorrow. Not exactly vacation, but it'll do.

It's going to be strange seeing out of both eyes without benefit of contact lenses or glasses. Though to read there will be reading glasses, but that's ok.

Glad to hear it. Even with all the updates and medical advancements it is still a little scary to get your eyes worked on. I am so glad you are doing so well.

I was wearing contact lenses that were -12, last eye exam(end of Feb.) the doctor backed me off to a -11, and I did have some improvement, but the cataracts had progressed to the point of surgery, and I was then referred to Bennett & Bloom eye centers. The surgeries were scheduled a week apart due to my being so incredibly near-sighted. As of my followup appointment today, I'm currently 20/25 in both eyes(and that's for distance only) and the dr. is incredibly pleased that I'm doing so well.

It was definitely well worth it.

I'm happy for you and the corrective surgery went well. One less thing to mess with in the morning (contacts) a big hurrah for you. Enjoy Seeing the world around you in a different light - and enjoy your week off.
