Get your eyes checked!!!

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.

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!
