The Last Word on Cataract Surgery
In Greek mythology, Argus Panoptes was "the all seeing." A man with many eyes. Early accounts say he had four eyes, later a hundred. Glad I'm not Panoptes.
Today they removed the cataract from my left eye. Apparently, it was a lot thicker than the one in the right eye. So it took a little longer and generated some swelling. But the results are every bit as miraculous! Not a lot of vision, but by far, much more light!
There will be a few weeks of eye exercises to retrain the muscles, and a lasik procedure in the right eye, but other than that, it's just drops, drops, drops! (My aim is getting better!)
Like I said, I'm glad to be human and only have to deal with this twice, unlike Argus Panoptes, who may have needed four procedures, or a hundred. :)
