Cataract Surgery: The Eyes Have It

 

The New Daily

Well, here we go again. A new decade, a new operation. This time my cataracts are turning the world into a soft milky blur. The eye surgeon gave me two choices: Medicare Eyes, in which a popular government program would pay for most everything. My opaqueness would be removed, but I'd still need glasses, etc. 

Or the Cadillac Eyes. In this case, extra special lens are placed in my eyes eliminating my far sightedness save for reading glasses. Of course, that costs out-of-pocket. But, as my wife pointed out, they can only go in and muck about with your eyes one time. So, we'll pony up for the cool orbs and that will be that. 

Keep me in your prayers this Monday and Wednesday. I'll update soon.

Glad you're getting your eyes done. The sooner the better. Will keep you in my prayers! And, look on the bright side; there's a normality to it.

Thanks for the prayers.

Great to have clear vision for the first time in decades

You got it done? YAAAY!

People are generally squeemish about surgery of any sort. If you look at it the right way (heaven willing, an improvement in a situation) it's easy to just look at it as a lot of pampering.

Was the surgery like "day surgery" or were you in the hospital overnight?

Day surgery. I'll have more on this soon.
