Cataracts and other visual concerns!

[ultrarunner]

Off topic… back in 1995 we had just completed our new home across town and there was a lot to do relocating to our brand new facility.

There was a glitch in that the medical movers refused to move the laser which cost several hundred thousand dollars or what I could buy my home for several times over…

I was ask to move it and used my lowboy home made landscape trailer behind my Plymouth traveling about 5 mph.

Even had an escort and without incident arrived where the factory rep was waiting to do a full recertification before approved for patient use.

Most expensive item I ever moved… and that was 30 years ago.

Was welding up a project and found I couldn't see snot even when I adjusted helmet. Cataracts have wrecked my ablity to see in high/low light.

Thankfully, resolving those lighting issues are relatively inexpensive and fast today. Although it's been several months since my surgeries, it still amazes me everyday how much better I see and my level of comfort in the process.

Had a follow up check earlier this week. 20/20 distance and near vision. I'm still amazed how clear everything is.

Jealous of you guys with the C surgery.

I had lasic about 20 years ago which provided the desired mono vision along with no longer needing contacts, but think it needs to be tweaked now!

My cataracts are worsening and I asked to be referred to a out of town surgeon.

You need to get it done, it's like having High Definition vision. Takes a few weeks to get the full effect but you'll be surprised at how clear everything is.

This clarity thing still amazes me. Well I could live without now seeing the strobing effects of some new headlights in my rearview mirror.

Wife is about a week post-op on 2nd eye.

Her 1st eye has already dropped some from the initial 20/20. I think that disappointed her. They set the second eye for "middle vision".

She's overall happy. Bought some fancy readers and chains for them.

Ultimately, her glaucoma will eventually steal her vision, so she's happy, but also a little sad.

Was to a eye doc in Marquette MI today and my first corrective surgery will be on November 6th for these darn cataracts.
