Default Eye Surgery Done

I had cataract eye surgery this morning. I am glad that it's over with. I am typing this with one eye, so don't critical. Now I'll be able to see all of you clearer, maybe that not a good thing. Ha! Ha! I have to go back tomorrow morning to get the patch taken off and start the eye drops. I hope it's as good as when I had the right eye done.

Thanks for all the comments. The patch was taken off this morning. Boy! what a difference. It's amazing how things get blurry over time and hardly notice it. Then all of a sudden everything is clear again. See you all later this month.

Who did your surgery? My dad is an Ophthalmologist in the area. And I work in pharmaceuticals selling the drops you are probably using in your eyes.

One of the biggest differences after the surgery my wife noticed is that she can drive at night again..She's a sissy and put it off until she was having trouble at night.
