Getting used to my new norm. It is an adjustment but not a bad one.

I still reach up to adjust my non-existent glasses half a dozen times a day. I'm not wearing readers much at all. I don't...

I can't work today so I decided to do paperwork. My first experience with not being able to see up close. This was instantly frustrating and is going to take some getting used to. I put on the...

LOL, I've never been a sharpshooter with iron sights except with an M-16. Never had trouble with that.

Just back from the post op check up. The surgeon says everything looks great. I could see...

Out of surgery and home, can't see squat out of the right eye yet. I was thinking my left was better at this point but maybe not. Surgery went fast again, I was his ninth. Did not feel like...

10:20 tomorrow. Wife is happy as it isn't as early, I would have preferred early. I'm awake at 5:00 anyway. Looking forward to it getting done. I'm having problems doing plumbing jobs right now. ...

Yesterday I went the entire day except for a short time I wanted to read without my glasses on. Today I was able to read without them for the first time. Book was a nice distance away, maybe 20...

No astigmatism. And I checked out a pair of binoculars yesterday and no issues.

Right eye gets done next Wednesday.

Checkup went fine. No more shield, two eyedrops were eliminated and the third reduced to 2 per day. All restrictions lifted.

Not much has changed the past few days. I have an appointment with the surgeon this afternoon. Hoping I can stop wearing the shield at night. I should be able to discontinue one or two of the...

Went shopping for sunglasses and readers today. My wife isn't happy because the readers are very similar to my glasses and the sunglasses are the same as the ones I had when we started dating. Not...

The digestive issues seem to have passed. The eye seems to be settling down nicely. I can see everything on my dash and stearing wheel clearly while driving so the near vision is clearing up some...

I'm apparently the first with the digestive issues even though it's all over the net as being a "common" possibility. They aren't changing anything as it isn't really doing me any harm.

The...

So I've had the runs for the past two days now. Seemed strange. Yesterday I attributed it to the anesthesia but it was back this morning. It's the eye drops. Who would have imagined that eye...

I called the eye doctor (not the surgeon) to see about a neutral lens but they basically wouldn't do it and it would be after the other eye is done before they would have it anyway so I nixed that.
...

I don't want to lose the motivation to read. I love reading. I think I may have the opposite, not sure but I was looking at something this morning and with my left eye it was brillant white, the...

I'm nearsighted also but I did go through a short phase years ago where I had extended wear contacts so I do have memory of what it's like to wake up and being able to see. My biggest adjustment is...

First morning after surgery. I'm moving around the house without glasses. Eyesight is still not great but I'm typing on my computer right now without glasses. Everything is still a little fuzzy. ...

I went down for post op check up and everything is fine. My vision still sucks but my eye is still dialated to the max. They said my vision is a lot better than most at this stage as I could at...

Out of surgery. Will definitely need reading glasses. Vision kind of a mess right now. I have a shield on my left eye. Wearing my glasses with blocky sunglasses on top. It went very fast, seemed like...

Getting ready to head out the door. Will post later if I'm up to it. Liking the thought of sleeping all day after. Except I have a 3:00pm post op appointment.

Your story seems to be the same as mine right up to the surgery part which I haven't experienced yet. I will be completely under which will be the biggest difference. I don't remember if I was...

Tomorrow is my long-awaited cataract surgery. My eyes have been a bit off for three years now. My right is fine but my left has not been correctable for that long. They didn't want to do anything...
