I can relate to that to your experience. :)

Very thoughtful of you, Maurice. :)

Ah.. Benjamin Button's syndrome? ;)

I wanted to check in a bit. I had cataract surgery in my right eye on Oct 2 and
my
left is scheduled for the 16th. Surgery went well, very smooth, no problems. My

distance vision in my right eye is darn near perfect. Don't even need glasses
for
that eye anymore. I haven't even been wearing my glasses since I got surgeried.

Still pretty awkward though considering the vision in my left eye is very bad,
but
I expect that to get corrected from the surgery this Friday. I'll still need
glasses for reading.

Using the computer is still a bit challenging. I got some OTC reading glasses
that
make the right eye good, but not the left. Again, after surgery, the reading
glasses should help with that eye as well, or I can get a prescription pair
about
4 weeks after surgery.

How are things on your end?
