It's not pretty, but cataract surgery on my right eye is a step in the right direction...assuming I heal with no complications.

I wear thick glasses, but one eye now has normal distance vision. I removed that spectacle lens.

My glasses now sit lopsided on my nose. I'll figure out a fix.

Soon, the clear plastic 'eye bump shield' will be removed. They my glasses will fit much better.

I'll get surgery on the other eye soon.

Recovery will take at least a week, and vision may take a month or more to stabilize.

I keep my surgery eye closed most of the time for now, but when I was driven home I was able to read car license plates with the surgery eye...even though I was looking through the plastic shield and dark glasses. Amazing!

I have worn thick glasses for over a half-century. I am cautiously optimistic that this procedure will, in some ways, turn back the clock on my vision.
