Get your eyes checked!!!

[CHAS]

I can see.
Had cataract surgery Tuesday.  Doc could not complete it. I have tough cataracts.  That eye has been damaged. Sent me to a doc at another clinic. Had surgery Thursday.  It was a much better experience.   Today I could see a symbol of a large broken ring on the screen. My vision in that eye is expected to improve. That is a great improvement. Was told I could lose the vision  in  that  eye.

Good news!

I’m glad for you, @CHAS and hope that your vision continues to improve.

My retina specialist told me that there was a 50 percent chance I could be blind in my left eye after cataract surgery. Then he paused and said, “that’s one in two.” Yeah, I can do the math. So I waited a few more years until my vision was so awful it was making my work life stupid. It’s turned out mostly great.

Under promise, over deliver?

Hoping for the best possible outcome for you, Chas.

Glad you're having positive outcomes, Chas!

[CHAS]

Thank you to each of you.
My vision in that eye is still bad, but improving. The colors are wild. A football field is a wild obnoxious yellow green. I suppose it will resolve.
"Under promise, over deliver. " is probably widespread in the eye business. Wonder whether it relates to liability concerns.

Just saw this, I hope you're getting better, Chas.

The eye doctor told me I am starting to get cataracts, like almost everyone my age, but that I have a few years before I need the surgery.

@Quirt-Evans

Thank you.
My vision in that eye made big improvements the first two days after the surgery. I expect the improvements to slow. I do tell Bob he is looking better every day.
Missing physical activity. Was warned about bending and lifting.
Wonder whether a good sneeze would make the eye a projectile.

@CHAS I was shocked when I saw some of the colors I chose for some of my knitting designs!

Under-promise, over-deliver: That just makes us consider the worst case scenario, and usually it’s better and we’re grateful instead of angry.

The ophthalmologist who did my mom's cataract surgery used to present an African violet in bloom to his patients when they came in the day after surgery to have their bandage removed. Mom couldn't believe how different colors looked!

@CHAS , so glad to hear things are progressing for you.
