Seeing South Lake Tahoe… with a New Eye.

Cataract surgery is a wonderful thing

Cataract Surgery brings a wonderful new focus to South Lake Tahoe.

Blues like I've never seen them before. Reds and greens too. And it's truly amazing. I had been told I would see South Lake Tahoe better after cataract surgery, but I wasn't told it would be this good.

Only the right eye has been done so far, and all I can say is it's amazing. I've got 20-20 vision in one eye for the first time ever. Clarity and distance distinction, I pretty much knew that would get better, but what I didn't know was how much more vibrant color would be.

Everything is also much brighter too. It seems like the difference is light with a bluish tint compared to one that is somewhat yellow… and much more blurred.

The two images below of the forest that is our back yard are pretty much the before and after.

Before cataract surgery.

 

The image above is close to what my left eye sees now. The image below is what my right eye sees now.

There is a period of further adjustment on this first eye. But all is well, and I really look forward to seeing what South Lake Tahoe really looks like with both eyes. Will have to wait until the 29th though, when the left eye becomes free of its obfuscating cataract too.

Reminds me of when I first got my glasses.  The difference was amazing and I didn't realize what I had been missing.  Good luck with your surgery!
