Cataract Surgery

I had my right eye done today. And things are weird. I can tell I’ll be able to see distance clearly out of that eye, but the surgery on the left eye isn’t for a month so things are wonky right now. The doctor has suggested that I wear a contact in the left eye, but I’m not a huge fan as contacts dry my eyes out so I may have the right lens removed from my glasses which will be so very attractive. I’m more concerned about comfort than how I look. Hopefully I can navigate things so I can function.

I don’t know what my close up vision is going to be like. I think I need some time for things to settle down. Dan says my eye is still dilated so maybe that is why I still can’t see.

I might be looking forward to shopping for funky readers. Maybe some bright colors or animal prints or clear frames. Oh and I’ll be able to wear real sunglasses…and see the clock in the middle of the night? Maybe I’ve finally gotten a positive impact from a side effect of treatment. Maybe.

Another day, another experience. Some days I wish I could be Lucy.
