Then I noticed my vision was deteriorating, and I didn't know why. The deterioration was caused by the formation of cataracts, which blur the lens of the eye. Now that my right eye is great again, I am enjoying just looking at things, almost in childlike wonder.Stogie Chomperhttp://saberpoint.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117033.post-9575917833050400072015-01-16T09:58:36.671-08:002015-01-16T09:58:36.671-08:00AOW, I didn't have any stitches at all.

Sitting here in my kitchen, I can look out the patio doors and see individual blades of grass in my lawn. Before, all I could see was a green carpet. I love having great vision! In my right eye, anyway, Left eye is next.Stogie Chomperhttp://saberpoint.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117033.post-50598436353986242202015-01-16T09:17:35.873-08:002015-01-16T09:17:35.873-08:00Wonderful, wonderful news Stogie.

Furthermore, the kind of lens implanted back then causes all kinds of weird reflections.<br /><br />Now, cataract surgery is no stitch or one stitch. And the IOL doesn't cause reflections. I know these points for a fact because I again had cataract surgery in 2008.
