Bob, heterochromia (two different colored eyes) runs in my family and of course, there is no place on a driver's license for that so I list my eyes as 'hazel'.

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 daily drops.
Not expecting any problems. I have no pain, no vision problems other than my eyes being so different.
Getting into the habit of not wearing glasses inside the house, wearing them outside. If I'm not moving, I can manage the blurry right eye.
I've been hearing from people that they are aware of my surgeon and I find this amazing. I've only told two people his name and they both were aware of him. Apparently he's very good, has a teaching position somewhere and a second office in Philadelphia. Only does surgeries here on Wednesdays along with all his appointments.

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

Yer off! Do you have astigmatism to deal with?

No astigmatism. And I checked out a pair of binoculars yesterday and no issues.
Right eye gets done next Wednesday.

Had mine doe 13 years ago. Still good! And I needed multifocal lenes. I just need 3x magnifiers for close work. You will be fine

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 inches. Anything closer, I'll need readers.
Yesterday was a day of stumbling and almost falling a couple of times, the right eye being blurry is causing me serious depth perception problems. Three more days and hopefully this will be corrected.
