[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3383899, member: 27673"] Because of diabetes I go for a eye exam every six months (Medicare hasn't squawked at the frequency) and I probably put my surgery off for about two years or so after the doc first told me that I should consider having cataract surgery done and naturally during that two year period they just kept getting worse and worse. I could probably come up with some manly knuckle dragging excuses for not having it done sooner but when it comes right down to it I was chicken.....even tho I've already had one eye done and the surgery apparently seems to have gone well so far just the thought of someone messing around with my eyes scares the living crap out of me. Finally admitting I need to fix my eyes is kinda like my hearing prior to going to the VA for hearing aids, because both my hearing and eyes have went south gradually I guess I got used to the changes and it didn't really bother me but after finally getting hearing aids I could immediately tell that I'd been missing out on a lot and the same holds true now for my right eye now that's it's been worked on......things are [B]a lot[/B] sharper, crisper and defined compared to my left eye. It's another ten days (July 6th) till my left eye gets worked on and the doc said another four weeks after that till both eyes are completely healed up and then she'll give me a eye exam for new glasses (mainly for reading and to correct a slight astigmatism) which will probably take a week or so to come in so by mid August I should be good to go and this will all be behind me.
