For the last few years I have had a cataract in my right eye that has been getting progressively worse to the point that my vision in that eye is worse than 20/200. So I'm basically a Cyclops. I can't pass ANY eye test with it, certainly not my Driver's License test (which is in 27 days). I can see shapes, but no details and street lights look like rings of light with a dot of light in the center. I can't even read my watch unless I put it within a hand's width from my eye and even then it's blurry.
But that all changes tomorrow! At 11:00 AM, I am going under the teeny, tiny knife & micro vacuum cleaner and having it removed and a new lens put in. I've been waiting all summer for this appointment and it's finally here I WILL need reading glasses though, which will be interesting, because with my LEFT eye, I can read fine ... I have to take OFF my glasses to read. I had Lasik 10 years ago and like they told me, as I age, I would likely, eventually need glasses again (probably bifocals), but so far there is only a slight degradation in my left eye & I can't quite see the FINER details at a distance (like trying to read license plates).
Oh, the joys of turning 50 ... in 27 days ...
