It is, that! Of course, because I couldn’t afford the multi-focal lenses ($1600 an eye) I have several pairs of reading glasses in varying strengths. But it is SO nice to wake up and not have to put on glasses or put in contact lenses!!

If Mrs. NtI is still contemplating the surgery, I would encourage her to do so, as it is so liberating!

I tried to explain to Busdaddy what seeing was like with cataracts, and one day, we were coming back from breakfast at IHOP, and I said, “You see that layer of smog?” Yes, he did. “I was looking at the world through that band of ugly brown gunk. That’s why I couldn’t see at night to drive, and why I had to have so many lights on in the house.”

I think he finally understood!

We are halfway there. One eye left to be done next week. She saw me with her good eye clearly the next day after the first eye correction and declared I looked worse than she thought. These corrective eye surgeries have been a curse for my ego.

Nully I think I finally understand. Never let a woman, especially a wife see yourself after corrective eye surgery. They see too well at that point and can spot ugly. I married a woman in glasses ... thick glasses ... because I knew she had no idea what I looked like. It was good that way. Am beginning to dislike eye doctors and may have to complain to the Medical Association.

yep, the wife said I didn't realize there were so many good looking men out there. I truly dislike eye surgeons.

It is, that!

Am so happy for you that your eyesight is 20/20. You can pilot that fighter jet next time. I'll sit in the back and run weapons. I've always wanted to run the weapons panel.
