The Gift of Sight

It's amazing! I can see close up in my left eye just fine. I can read without straining, a book, kindle, newspaper, computer, instructions on a medicine bottle. I can see to trim my fingernails and toe nails! It's a little bit weird to switch back and forth, but it is way better than how my vision was when I had the cataracts.

Now I understand why my mother got so depressed when her macular degeneration continued to worsen over the years until she lost 85% of her vision. Please note it is not related to cataracts at all. My mother was a smoker for more than forty years, and that highly contributed to her macular degeneration.

I'm so glad that I was able to have the surgery even though I have the leukemia.

Seeing is a wonderful gift!
