Hey Blue in AK!

I get my left cataract fixed May 8 and the right two weeks later! I am literally blind in the left and barely functional on the right, hence not many posts here lately.

I can't believe I'm so excited about someone sticking a needle in my eye!

At least in my case, I was awake and could watch. It was like the best light show you could imagine. . Do you have cornea issues, too?

a bit of astigmatism in the right eye and the LASIC will correct that as well. I'll be awake but sedated to help me keep still. Lookin' forward to seeing again.

I've been reduced to using the live view feature on the Oly with the most powerful OTC readers and then magnify that in Paint Shop for editing.
