I had an examination and discovered my vision had devolved to 20/30 in each eye. A year later there was more retrogression. In 2022, it was within 6 months that I could no longer see chalkboard menses or watch television. I called to schedule an appointment before my annual eye exam. But I was told to wait for my regular appointment.
By the time of my exam, my vision impairment had doubled. I was almost as impaired as I’d been in 2007. What!
After a few tests with dilation, I was told I had cataracts on both eyes. This explained the halos, poor night vision, blurry Vaseline filtered sight, speedy deterioration. I said I wanted to consult with an ophthalmologist for a surgical consult. And, I was really annoyed! I thought cataracts were for OLD people! That is NOT me!
I went through cataracts during COVID. At least it is a fairly quick procedure. You will forget about the whole thing fast
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club. I've been told for years, and I mean 20 or more years, that I have them, but as recently as last summer I was told, yet again, they aren't bad enough to warrant removal (a Medicare thing, probably), but in about two years it will be time. I will be 79. I do experience some of the discomfort you describe, and have the whole time. Aye, yi, yi!
ReplyDeleteBefore you go out and invest a portion of your well deserved cash on the most recent "ergonomic desk," recall this: on the grounds that an item or piece of gear is marked as "ergonomic," it positively doesn't mean it is genuinely ergonomic.
