The eyes have it

Cataracts, that is. The Dr's first response to my eye test was, "Can you read?". My cataracts have grown a lot (a lot-alot), and both now cover almost the entire visual area of my lenses. She said that if I had to take the driver's license test, I would fail it. Apparently I have been muscling my eyes to see around the outer edge of the lens where the cataracts are thinner for years now. I also have been seeing everything through a golden filter, so my color acuity is way off. I am going to go through all my cars to see if I painted some weird color that doesn't belong. And that's coming from a guy who has TWO pink cars.

So, after the beginning of September, you can trust my color sense again!

Sorry to hear that, but glad things are going to be fixed. Each of my parents has had cataract surgery within the last year. Much easier and also much quicker recovery than a while back. Seems like it was a day or so and they felt like normal vision. They both said everything is brighter and much more vivid colors. Best of luck.

Rob, my wife has both eyes done at The Virginia Eye Center near University of Richmond. After the first one was done she could not wait until they could do the second one. The procedures did wonders and now I can not hide a thing from her.

The first thing I said after my surgery is "God this bathroom is white!!".
Enjoy the colors. I'm color blind (B-G-R-).
