When I came down to Dallas to help my dad (he was quite aged and needed medical assistance and seeing doctors) ... one of the things he just wasn’t taking care of was his eyes. He needed cataract surgery, and he wasn’t doing it. So, I got him in and both eyes were taken care of, one after the other.
AND THEN ... after they were done ... my dad said to me, “I didn’t know you looked like that!” ... he hadn’t even seen me clearly before that surgery ... :-) ...
My dad had his cataracts done. He went from needing glasses for seeing everything, to only needing drugstore readers for reading.
And it was a relatively quick, outpatient procedure.
He was happy as a clam.
