Re: A New Magazine
Uncle Al, I am blind in my right eye and have been since about 11 years of age as a result of an accident. So welcome, fellow Cyclops. Have I missed something as to your reason?
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

Hi Dennis,
To finally 'let the cat out of the bag', I'm undergoing cataract surgery.
My left eye was done about 2 weeks ago. Vision has not settled down
yet, but I've gone from 20/200 to 20/20- (20/20 minus-cause I missed
a couple of letters) My right eye will be operated on tomorrow, the 15th.
The colors are much more vivid, brighter, and the light hurts. MUST use
sunglasses when outside. I didn't realize that I was looking through a
yellow haze at everything until the day after my 1st surgery.
I'm getting the TORIC lens implants. I will only need 'reeders' for anything
close up. Now I can read street signs almost a block away. I was able
to read a license plate about 65 feet in front of me. Couldn't do that
2 weeks ago.
The joys of modern medicine

Re: A New Magazine
I've had my two lens implants for almost 3 years now and all is well. I was astonished to be able to read the signs in a pedway from the other side of the block (shorter side) and they were more or less 3.5" x 7" rectangular signs like you'd see next to an office door with the occupant's name on it. Improvement from before when I had to be about 3/4 of the way to it. Street signs, etc. Way more visible, Have gotten more used to daylight but still need sunglasses (clip-ons) from time to time.
Hope all goes well and you're soon spotting gloomily-plumaged birds trying to hide in similarly dull and dreary trees. Bright-plumage is easy.

Re: A New Magazine
Thanks Uncle Al for clearing that up. I had noticed your ccyclops comment for a while but as I had been on holiday I thought that I's missed something. I'm pleased that your sight has improved and hope that the other eye operation goes well also. I have thought about have laser eye surgery to improve the vision in my left eye but having only one eye I have to weigh the risks with the benefits. As I am losing my hearing slowly then being blind also would be a bit of a disaster to say the least. I wear a contact lens for long sightedness and now that I am getting older need glasses to read by.
