Cataract² Day.
Both of my eyes are now fully bionic, after this plastic trifocal lens (top card) was implanted earlier today.
I told the doc I was only going through the surgery so I could post both implant cards on Facebook. He laughed. I never saw his face (strict masking protocols), so I had to look up his resume on the internet, in order to be able to identify him during the inevitable police lineup. 😉
Cataract Surgery: A Rite Of Passage.
Researchers say about half of Americans will have cataracts by the age of 75.
My eye doctor said I was starting to develop cataracts about 15 years ago, at age 56.
My vision has been going downhill for the last couple of years, so I decided to get the ol' eyes fixed.
The first surgery took place on August 25th.
Spectacular results: the vision in my right eye has literally NEVER been this good.
20/20 distance, 20/30 reading and still improving.
The second surgery is scheduled for September 19th. Can't f*cking wait. ;-)
