Had my preliminary appointment with opthomologist yesterday because my slow-growing cataracts (last 20 years) finally need surgery. The good news is that I'll finally have 20-20 vision without contacts (which I've worn since I was 15) ~ and Medicare pays for it! WOO HOO! The bad news is that I have to wear my old glasses for 2 weeks (what?? I haven't worn glasses in 50 years!) ~ can't wear my hard contacts, so that my eyes go back to their original shape so they can measure them for the new lens when they do the cataract surgery. *** I don't even recognize MYSELF when I look in the mirror now:) |
