Ah can see. Out of both eyes.

The last few weeks I had been having problems with my visual cortex - HD vision in my left eye (5/14 surgery) and 17" B&W TV on rabbit ears in my right eye. I had been getting headaches from the disconnect and was unable to read for any length of time.

My second cataract surgery was done Tuesday. I went back for my day after exam where they take off the pirate eye patch and check to make sure eye pressures are normal and the lens is doing its thing. They did their thing, gave me eye drops and I have a one week post-op appointment to make sure everything is going well.

Oh Happy Days.
