This High Def is great!

No, not my new teevee; my new cataract-free eye! But it sure makes my Ultra HD TV worth it.

But now it's better than my other eye. I don't think my insurance will cover a lens implant for it too. It still has 20-30 vision. Probably later.

Getting older is going to be interesting, but Medicare helps a whole lot. I wouldn't have retired without it.

N3ver could wear contacts for very long. Now can see my feet in the shower, don't have to fumble for glasses, etc. It's great. If I had known, and had the money, I'd have had lens implants decades ago. Still have to use readers for small print, and just got pair of glasses for really sharp distant vision.

20/30 is pretty good.

Good luck.

I can't wear contacts in this dry climate. I never wore glasses until about four years ago.

I'm really amazed and appreciate your comment.
