I am at that inbetween stage like you described and know exactly what you are talking about with the lights. Even so, I'm amazed at how much better I can see with only one of my eyes repaired. Will be really glad when both eyes are clear!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-38254880322949240472015-08-10T17:47:05.567-05:002015-08-10T17:47:05.567-05:00I have had both eyes done and went back once as a ...I have had both eyes done and went back once as a kind of fake cataract will sometimes try and grow back but it just got laser zapped in a couple of minutes. I had one eye done and being a painter, I did a painting of what the lights looked like at night while I had both a good and bad eye. The lights were kind of pretty with rays coming out but I couldn't drive like that. It sure is nice to be able to see again.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-32891673364398704222015-08-06T18:37:21.512-05:002015-08-06T18:37:21.512-05:00Thanks, CottonLady...I'm excited!

But on the up side, within the next several days I am told that the repair to the right eye will have healed enough so that I shall see well enough to lose the glasses. I think I am really glad to be doing this now rather than back then. The thought of someone mucking about in my eye with needles sort of makes me shiver. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-31912269617790953352015-08-05T09:36:43.348-05:002015-08-05T09:36:43.348-05:00The Egyptians did cataract surgery 3000 years ago,...The Egyptians did cataract surgery 3000 years ago, using needles.

I wear reading glasses now, but can live with that. Before the surgery I couldn't see past the tips of my fingers without glasses. <br />I hate going to the doctor for anything, but eye surgery was worth it. <br />Enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
