I had my annual appointment with my eye surgeon today. He's the one who did the surgery on both of my eyes when it was first discovered that I had Glaucoma. While the damage that had already been done (the reason I don't have much peripheral vision in my left eye) couldn't be reversed, the surgeries have effectively stopped the problem from getting worse. My Glaucoma has been under control for about 12 years now. That's all good. Over the last few years my doctor has been watching the progress of my cataracts. Happily, I was told today that they are still very small and no problem at this time. "Everything looks good. Come back in a year." Such sweet words to hear.
Oh yes, the fact that I find myself using a magnifying glass to read numbers in the phone book and selecting large print books at the library is just a reflection of my age and the fact that I probably should have my prescription checked. Ah well, time does march on.
