Ok, people, you are lucky I can see enough to type this. I just got back after spending 4 hours at the cataract clinic at Stanford. They informed me after putting me through torture that they are actually are going to have to do both eyes. I'm going to have to go in for a 5 hour session to do the procedure on my left eye, which is the worst one and then the next day I got to go back so they can check my eye and see how the procedure worked out. I'll be able to type on my phone and computer somewhat. Also watch TV somewhat. It will lack detail and the letters will be barely legible , like now. The next procedure will happen two weeks later. The result will possibly be the restoration of full distance vision. I'll still have to wear glasses to read, but my vision will be greatly improved. So this is good news. It's going to be hard on me, but that seems to be the flavor of the year.
