Florida man regains lost sight

[rto]

Yep, I had both eyes' cataract surgeries done this month. What a relief from wearing glasses for 30 years. So far I don't even need readers anymore and I can see better at night. The eye doc said that my vision should get even better.

Yayy you!
Glad the surgeries went well for you

Big difference eh? I have to use 2.0 X readers for up close stuff and have some astigmatism but wasn't going to pay extra for fancy lenses.

Yay, Florida Man!

Best thing that happened to my vision this year is when I went to a new eye doctor and he prescribed me a new type of contact lens that gives me regular vision. I don't need to use my Dexters anymore to read things close up. I'm not sure how they work. All I know is they are phenomenal, plus they allow me to be a better shooter.

I was going to go with the basic ( no cost to me ) lens but my wife encouraged me to get the upgrade which cost a little over 5K. I had an astigmatism in both eyes but was worse in the right eye. I had a Toric lens put in the right eye and an upgrade in the left eye with laser treatment in both. So far I don't need readers which my doctor said that I might need.

One thing that I'll have to get used to is bright light because with the clear vision it seems like my eyes are dilated when I step out into the Flarda sun.

That's great! I am glad to be living in a time that modern science can correct many things that our own body's can't.

Oh yes, you will be sensitive to bright light for a while. The factory lens has yellowish tint, the replacement is clear. That's what they told me long time ago, first upgrade was $5K, Best was $10k...but my wife wasn't there and didn't have a say in the matter, she would have gone for a 40k update if they had one.lol. I just passed the driver's lic eye test so I'm still good.
