Well, it's official. I'm on the doctor's schedule for cataract surgery starting in January, I've gone to this eye doctor for many years. He did surgery on each of my eyes eight years ago to fix my glaucoma problem and that has worked out very well. The only catch is that cataract surgery can sometimes undo the glaucoma correction. So we agreed to start with my left eye which has had limited sight for some time now. Basically my vision in my left eye is always blurry. While nothing will repair the peripheral vision in that eye it would be nice to see clearly while looking straight ahead. So the plan is to start with my left eye, surgery scheduled for January 13. Then we will wait three weeks to make absolutely sure everything is working well before he starts snipping on my right eye. Supposedly the special lenses he will implant will not only fix my vision but also repair my astigmatisms. Theoretically this will do all kinds of good things for my vision. Fun fact, for the three weeks after my left eye is fixed, I will wear my glasses without a lens on the left side. Any one want to guess how many times I will accidentally poke myself in the eye? On the other hand, that side of my glasses won't fog up when I wear a mask. There is always a silver lining.
