TR>TR>Yesterday I had surgery on my left eye. The results are uttely
TR>TR>amazing! Within a couple of minutes, I could see better than I'd
TR>TR>ever seen in my entire life. My eyesight must have always been bad
TR>TR>from birth.


TR>TR>The clarity is astounding! I see colors as they really are, sharp
TR>TR>and clear. I realize that cops really `can' read a license plate
TR>TR>from a long distance, and its not just dumb-ass luck they happen
TR>TR>to pull a car over that had an expired one!


TR>TR>I can't wait for the other eye to be taken care of!


TR>JB>Laser surgery ?



TR>No. The natural lense was removed, a new lense put in its place, and
TR>the tiny incision sutured. The difference was immediate.


TR>The laser surgery you refer to is a procedure that wouldn't have
TR>helped me any. A cataract is a tiny hole in the lense itself, a
TR>common situation with people over fifty. One cataract might not
TR>bother a person too much, might not even show up in an eye exam. They
TR>don't have to change their glasses but amybe once every four or five
TR>years (normal for older people who wear glasses).


TR>But a person with serious cataracts (like me) starts having to change
TR>their prescription quite often. In my case, since I drive for a
TR>living I get an eye test every year. And the last four or five years,
TR>I've had to change prescriptions every year (a $400 or more expense
TR>anymore).


TR>An optomitrist suspected cataracts, and gave me a test for it. He was
TR>right.



TR>I wish I could get a `before' and `after' photo of the difference
TR>between the eye I just had worked on and the eye yet to be worked on.
TR>The contrasting images would amaze you! The new one crystal clear,
TR>unblemished, the colors sharp and vivid.....the one still to be
TR>worked on blurred, fuzzy, color changes dingy-looking, melting one
TR>into the other, detail of small things like scratches, or dents go
TR>unseen.


Well congratulations on the surgery and outcome.  You were able to get 
it before the Dems finish their destruction of the US medical system.
