The last few weeks I have been seeing the world through new eyes, almost literally. Like many of us I had cataract surgery. Though the idea of having anything poked in the eyeball; blade, laser, whatever is disturbing; it’s not if you don’t think about it or are given a lot of drugs to calm you down. I have been severely near sighted almost my entire life. Though that’s not the reason for cataract surgery, the reward is that my vision has been corrected significantly more than it was able to be corrected with glasses. This is huge. The ability to read road signs without asking my granddaughter to read them out loud as we pass by is astounding. And, yes, the truth is I should not have been driving at all or doing other things I was doing, but you don’t even realize how bad it is until the task either becomes impossible, like night driving, or until the situation is corrected. So, forgive me for going on and it. My new eyesight is pretty much all that I have been talking about since the surgery.
After my 2nd cataract surgery I looked in the mirror and decided to wear lipstick again, maybe even more makeup than just ljpstick. So I did for a while, but between covid mask wearing and disliking goop on my face, I decided to stop wasting my new eyesight on the mirror and went back to reading, w/o glasses, regular and small print books.
What bliss after I had my cataracts out and implants inserted for the severe short sightedness I suffered. Everything turned bright, and I could see the leaves on the trees and read every sign. Like Jessica’s experience, it was a nothing surgery, but the outcome was immediate and grand.
