I went to my eye specialist this morning for my annual “biggie” check. That’s where they do eye scans, a visual field check, pressure checks, complete dilation and dilated examination.
First of all, pressures were great. 12 and 13. The doctor was very happy.
Second, no diabetic changes to the eyes. He said everything looked good in that regard.
THEN he said to me, “I surprised that you can see as well as you say that you do. Your cataracts are getting really bad.” I told him that I have a harder time driving at night, that the walls in my home have changed color (my eyes are yellowing everything out), and that I noticed other changes as well.
Long story short, when I come back from being a snowbird at the end of February, I’m meeting with him for a cataract examination. That will be when they take a good look at the eye, measure the lens, and get everything in order for surgery. I will have both eyes operated on around the middle to end of March. He said that my eyesight will become much better and that my glasses will not be so heavy and strong.
I can’t wait!
