Since things are seemingly quiet on all other medical fronts… that is the carcinoids are staying inactive, my Bali bike injuries are virtually healed and I am on a serious weight loss program (8½ kg in the first month)… I decided now was a good time to take care of that pesky cataract in my left eye. Vision in that eye has seriously deteriorated over the past 18-24 months and my optometrist felt is was time to do something about it. I had an IOL (Interocular Lens) implanted in my right eye several years ago, but its vision was never as bad as the left eye is now. This afternoon I have an appointment with my eye surgeon, to review my case and hopefully set a surgery date. It is no big deal, having had it done once, I know the process and it is realatively quick, done without general anaesthesia and the results are pretty much instantaneous.
I know my brain will have to adjust, it has been using the left eye for close work and the right eye for distance for several years now and it will have to readapt to using both eyes for distance. New glasses will take care of the close work. I am so looking forward to having “normal” vision again.
I’ll Keep you all posted as things progress. Take care and be good!
