Final cataract report





(OS) Left eye - 20/15 vision;  (RD 20/20).  Most incredibly, I can read small print without glasses.  How?  The optho said "it's magic."  I cannot imagine what the $3000 lens, that's  supposed to mimic the original lens for adjusting long and near vision would do better than this $1000 deal. 

FWIW he used Alcon AcrySof IQ lenses (PDF).  In case you want to see how this is done

Great results Rodger! We'll have to move you from B-52 pilot to bombardier and gunner with that vision.
I thought the movie was going to be about eye surgery, but all I heard was Dell tech support, 'as usual'.

I didn't watch the film. Really? No surgery?

Lucky you. After years of being horribly myopic, cataract surgery in my right eye left me +250. It just wasn't in my cards to have good vision. SO happy yours turned out well.

Well there was some surgery, a big infomercial for the lens maker, but the narrator was a tech support from Dell, even though she has an MD.
