much fun at all.
Admittedly, it wasn’t exactly a poke in the eye with a pointy stick. More like a series of something or other under just enough sedation that I didn’t run screaming from the operating theatre.
Cataract surgery, my friends. It comes to many of us as we age. That little lens inside the eye first stiffness making focusing more difficult. Then, for some of us, it starts to darken. The whole change is pretty gradual, but I had noticed that my night vision was seriously compromised and that my color sense wasn’t as acute.
And no, I did not attempt to drive myself home. That service was provided by my dear husband. And then there will be eye drops 4x a day for the next week. What a joy. It isn’t really pain, more like a dull ache in my eye socket. But I think it may just turn out to be worth while.
That color change I mentioned? The difference between what I see with my eyes is stark. I noticed it looking at my phone screen. For those who can deal with DMC – the screen color with my new “improved” left eye is B5200 while my right eye is registering the color as ecru….
