I had my second surgery last week and my follow-up exam today. With cataracts removed and the laser astigmatism correction my vision is now like it was in my twenties. Theresa and I went shopping yesterday and I was wandering around the store like a kid with a new toy reading everything in...

If I knew it was going to be that cold I would have stayed home, 23 degrees with wind gusts to 25 mph. The weather service said this winter would be warmer than normal, I say: Bring it on, soon!

Yeah, it reminded me of a car wash. :eek:

At each eye exam for the last several years I was told that they were not ready yet, but in July I began to notice that it seemed my glasses were smeared on the left eye. I made an appointment with an eye surgeon and it has taken this long to get an appointment and arrange surgery, so the...

My last eye exam was Tuesday of this week, as a follow=up to cataract surgery and laser correction on Monday. After recovery, I have to do the same thing again in early December and will continue with follow-up exams into early next year. My doctor told me perhaps twenty years ago that I had...
