108. Just Had My Second

eye done last week. The surgery is no big deal. The recovery has been a royal pain, but not because I had problems, which I did not. My second eye was supposed to be done a month after the first, but it was postponed for some reason. You need your glasses to see out of the unfixed eye and don't need them for the fixed eye. If you have an astigmatism the surgery won't fix that, so you'll be stuck with that while you recover. My close vision, for which I wore glasses but was not super bad is now terrible. My distance vision is better than it was. I will be fine once I get the right glasses, but that won't be for another month. So I've been unable to see well for three months now. I'm not overly happy with the result because of the reduced close vision, but the alternative is to stick with the cataracts, so there was no option.

I say this for one reason. At my doctor's, I asked about the between eye surgery time period since I wouldn't have workable glasses and they were like, No big deal. Well, it can be a big deal if you need (or want) to see. I thought I was doing something wrong until a friend of mine had the same surgery right after I did and had the same problems. If you can't see, your eyes tire after 5 minutes of trying to use a computer, or your eyes feel like they are in a pitched battle with each other in order to focus, it's not you.
