Gratitude and Progress with Cataract Surgery
(Lake Tahoe Real Estate Blog / December 4, 2011 / Richard Bolen)
We must apologize for the gap in between our last post. South Lake Tahoe visuals have been just a little awkward with one eye, the new one, seeing things at 20-20, and the other eye seeing from a 20-400 point of view.
My glasses with only one lens didn't change that oddness, and as my right eye healed, seeing so good and new that it did, things did get a little better, but not so much that I wanted to spend my days in front on computer screens. Focus just wasn't the same.
Surgery for the left eye came last Tuesday. It too was quick, painless, and I was much looking forward to it. But the instant better sight that I experienced in my right eye didn't come with the new corrected left. Blurry was what I saw first, and it took a few days for that blur to become more clear.
Both eyes from cataract surgery are still adjusting, and it is a pleasure to write again. There is still more healing and adjustment to pass, and it will still be 3 more weeks before I can get new glasses. The truth is I already see better than I did wearing my old glasses, and with a tweak in new lenses for distant vision, and for real close up stuff, I will see better than I have… ever.
Gratitude leaps in bounds for both my surgeon, and for the amazing technical progress and medical advancements made for this sort of thing, and I'm also grateful for South Lake Tahoe, you have never looked so good.
