Hello Everyone!
I am back to working on this website and blogging after very successful cataract surgery! I am so happy to be able to sit here at this laptop and type today – wearing no glasses! I know there are many like me reading this – as children, we had coke bottle glasses. When I was a teernager, I got my first pair of contacts after begging and begging my parents. These were hard lenses – at that time, soft lenses were not available for people like me with such extreme near-sightedness and astigmatisms. Then I graduated to gas permeable contacts, bifocal contacts, and finally back to glasses with graduated bifocal lenses. But today – one week after my second surgery and two weeks after my first – I can look out the window that is here at my desk and with just my eyes – no glasses, no binoculars – I can see all the leaves on the trees and identify the birds at the feeders – the ones you see on the bird feeder cam. I will need reading glasses that I can buy at the drugstore, but at least for now, no more $500. pairs of glasses! And best of all. I have an appointment to get my hair cut this afternoon – a style to fit my face with NO GLASSES!!!!
