Three days ago I had the my left eye ‘done’ – the first of two cataract procedures. It is early days yet and I still look as if I have been hit in the eye – it is rather bloodshot, but in spite of that, the improvement to my sight is miraculous! I can’t wait to have the second one done, in ten days time, when hopefully both eyes will be seeing the same thing. At the moment the right one’s view is still somewhat blurry.
Two weeks later… Relieved to have just had the second eye ‘done’. The surgeon said it had all gone ‘wonderfully well’ but so far it is hard to tell. The improvement has not been as dramatic as with the left eye, but things are much improved. An amazing side effect is not needing reading glasses, which seems a tremendous bonus.
Another great bonus will be improved vision when we do our ‘great African trek’next month.It will be helpful to actually see the elephant before tripping over him.
