15. I'm on my last week of eye drops

Hi No Vest Interest and elleng...

I had cataract surgery two weeks apart April 21 and May 8....tons of eye drops indeed. In my case I had two cataracts in my right eye , a very aggressive one that took my vision completely and with my left eye, a regular cataract with blurry vision and straining to see.

I was fighting infections just to have the surgery so I was pretty blind for very long time.

I suffer dry eye too so that's a lifetime of eye drops which keeps my time limited on the computer. But it's truly a miracle to see now, I had Toric Lens put in ridding me of my Astigmatism which is like a cataract in itself and my doctor agrees. Those Toric Lens freed me of my eye glasses to enjoy the vision of my youth.

And I must say I sure am enjoying seeing again and appreciating the view.

Best to both of you on your surgeries....you two will certainly enjoy the vision of your youth.
