No cataracts yet for me, but I remember as if it were yesterday receiving my first pair of glasses at age 10. I exclaimed loudly the entire way home in the car–“I can see every leaf! I can see every pebble! I can see grains of sand” Could never forget that!!

Floaters can be eliminated! Before I had my cataracts removed in 2000 I asked my dr if there would be a fix for floaters in my lifetime and he said “I can do it tomorrow!”. I burst into tears and fell in love., it’s not a difficult procedure, but go to a retina specialist. It changed everything!

I’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying your new refurbished eyeballs! I’ve got the 20/800 vision thing going on myself, and I’m finding out now that I have cataracts and a touch of glaucoma, and of course the massive, annoying floaters that threaten my sanity.
It’s good to know that the cataract surgery is so fine-tuned these days that you get it done and go home, boom. And, the idea of never having to fuck around with contact lenses or wear Coke-bottle glasses again is kind of thrilling, but, still…I don’t know.

One thing about my crappy vision that I’ve always liked – felt smug about, even – is that I can be kind of blind when I want to be. Doing my nightly reading in bed, glasses off and book 4 inches from my nose, there are no distractions in the distance – my world is reduced to what’s right around my head. And when I wake up, the world isn’t there until the glasses make it be there. Kind of childish, huh.

That sharp, super-crisp vision does sound sweet, though. But I’d still have the damn floaters and I don’t think they’ve got floater removal out of the long and painful stage yet, have they?

I had mine done when I hit 50, after taking a baseball to the chest that I didn’t see coming. It is pretty incredible. To be honest I don’t remember the actual surgery moves I was too busy talking to the doctor in my woozy state. No pain anyway. Good for you! Make sure to wear quality sunglasses(retail therapy for your recovery) for life.

Well, I was kind of worried about you…someone I’ve never met but who makes me laugh out loud, feel so bad, think about world events, someone with whom I’m in complete agreement about he who shall not be named. Glad that the world is new and bright for you! Please stick around for many more years!

As the Archbishop of Canterbury never said, “And the Lord said let there be light – and lo – you could see all them fuckin’ sinners!”

I had both removed years ago, love my 20/20 vision! I do wear glasses occasionally to have super crisp vision, but normally ok……..no sweat!
