Good to see you posting again, Bernie. I am sure you will be a happy camper after the surgery.
God is great and life is good!

Thanks to all. I appreciate it.
Yes this year has been frustrating. I knew something was wrong but you know how it is. I was busy and just kept putting it off. So when I had my eyes checked in September I could only read the top two lines on the chart and I still missed a couple. I was a little apprehensive when he told me what was wrong. I have talked with several people and they said you will be amazed at the clarity and how clear you will see. I can see now (pun intended) that this has been coming on for a while. I went on a clock service call the other day. The little old lady probably 83 or so told me, "when I had mine done I was mad as hell." I asked her why and she said, "cause the paperwork took over a hour and the surgery took 5 1/2 minutes."I just laughed. I guess now they don't even cut anymore and it takes 4 to 6 minutes to do. Anyway eval is 2/10 and then they will schedule surgery. Will be nice to see again clearly.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

Bernie,
I had both eyes done a week apart about 7 years back. After wearing glasses for almost 60 years, it was amazing to have 20/20 distance vision and wear counter readers for reading. I did have a pair of safety glasses made trifocal, clear top, 1.5 mid, and 2.0 reading to allow working at mid range. I did find some small rimless 2.0 readers that remind me of the old Franklin readers and can be worn and see over for normal activities. safetyglassesusa.com or similar has different bifocal safety glasses that have a larger reader for working, and not the small area that a lot of bifocals have that only give a small reading area.

Glad you are getting them taken care of. Like the other folks said: goes pretty easy any more, know lots of folks that have had them taken care of. Doc says mine have started so will just wait. Like the bowls to, sold some like that in November.
Happy New Year.

Good luck on the vision thing--it's a piece of cake. You will wonder where the yellow went.
