seeing differently

 I had my follow-up appointment with my eye doctor this morning and things are looking good,  The vision in my left eye is now 20/50 and there may still be some more improvement.  Considering that my vision in that eye was previously 20/250 my doctor and I are both really, really happy about this.  But here's an interesting side effect that I hadn't been expecting.  A friend who had cataract surgery recently mentioned that colors were different now, so I decide to check it out. I have spent quite a bit of time this evening looking at the TV and other objects, first with one eye and then with the other (I've told you before, I'm easily entertained) and I discovered there really is a remarkable difference.  With my new lens things look clear and whites look very bright, then with my old eye everything has a yellowish cast.  It's hard to describe but there really is a very dramatic difference.  So now I'm wondering, what if I don't like the new true colors of my clothes.  I might have to go buy a whole new wardrobe.  And the down side is?????
