I've had my share of eye surgeries and blogged (Sight Aug.10.2010) their out come. May 26.2011 Blur post tells the more recent event but even as I type this I wear 2 sets of specs.Still I agree the op is a breeze and the outcome better than imaginable. But never take your eyesight for granted. By the way they cut the cornea, flip it up so they can get to the lens and flap it back over the sight and give a teeny weeny stitch to the bottom. That holds all in place. I've had laser eye surgery to reattach the retina on both eyes over a period of time.<br />Yup non of the other surgeries compare to eyes. I've had many too. My tummy is a road map of scars!Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8260274117021957060.post-504135046820004572012-02-25T13:01:19.231-05:002012-02-25T13:01:19.231-05:00I am so glad to hear that everything went better t...I am so glad to hear that everything went better than you expected and the results are great.

With one eye seeing perfectly and the other eye severely myopic and cataract cloudy, my poor scrambled brain sometimes got the messages wrong. My depth perception went all to hell and I scraped my car THREE TIMES in exactly the same place by misjudging the angle when backing into the garage.
