Get your eyes checked!!!

About a month ago the doc that did the first surgery told me I have super thick tough cataracts. They cannot break them into pieces to take them out well. She sent me to a doc trained to take the entire cataract out at once.
Today I had surgery #1 for cataracts on my left eye. It went well, but the doc could not get a lens in it. He is sending me back to the doc who did surgery #3 for the right eye and put a lens in.
Expected to get a lens in today, but low expectations keep the world turning. -

Thank you, SK.
Spent January to June of this year with no lens in my right eye. I could see things across the room if I resolve them with a magnifying glass. Before the current techniques were developed cataract surgery removed the entire lens in one piece like what I got today, then coke bottle like glasses were used. I drove and did some mountain biking with no lens in my right eye. The doc told me I could. I found driving with one lens was a stupid thing to do and quit.
I poked the right lens out of some Walgreen's reader glasses and read with my left eye and the remaining lens. -
I met an artist, Dorothea Tanning. She was a famous Surrealist. Cataracts drove her crazy because the colors were all wrong.

Wow. Sounds rough.
Hope everything resolves quickly!

@RealPlayer That’s interesting that she would know the difference. I found that the color change was so gradual, I had no idea that they were wrong. Until I had the first cataract surgery and could compare between the two eyes.
Also, did you know that you can get secondary cataracts? It’s a cataract of the lens capsule that holds the lens. Earlier this year I noticed that my vision was hazy, and it quickly got worse. A quick YAG laser zap fixed it for me last month. Whew!
