I Can (Almost) See Clearly Now
November 29, 2024 | My Jottings
I had my first cataract surgery this month and realize now I don’t have greenish gray paint on my bedroom walls. I have warm gray walls, but there is no green in it. 
There has been a sepia film over my vision from cataracts for years now, but I didn’t know it.
I’m enjoying seeing true colors from the one eye with a clear new toric lens, and look forward to the second surgery so the other eye loses its beige cast.
My distance vision is pretty sharp now, for the first time since I was a little girl, but my close vision requires readers, until I heal from my second surgery and get a new glasses prescription.
That’s all for now — just jumping in to say a quick hello. xoxo
It’s amazing, isn’t t? I had both eyes done last year and for the first time in almost 50 years, I don’t need glasses to see in the distance (and really, even closer… my vision was about 20/450 before surgery). I wear readers now for using my phone and laptop. I only had the basic surgery with single-vision lenses implanted; tonic lenses would have cost me an extra couple thousand per eye, so I was happy to take what the insurance gave me for nearly free.
Happy healing!
