OM-ers: Caution, unabashed play for sympathy ahead.
It's been two years since my first eye was "fixed." The other eye has
done the same thing--gotten progressively cloudier and more nearsighted.
So it's time to replace my original lens with a new, artificial one.
The surgery happens this coming Tuesday. Even though I've been through
it once before, I'm a little nervous. I'm also looking forward to
getting it over with. It's going to be interesting, after being
nearsighted all my life, to have "normal" vision and need to use reading
glasses to see close, rather than just take off my glasses.
I may not be free of glasses, though. After the first operation, I saw
double when looking to the right, and they had to put prism correction
into my glasses. It remains to be seen whether equalizing the focal
lengths of the two eyes will make this better or worse. I had a
wall-eye when I was a kid, which was corrected with surgery in the
mid-1950s. This issue may be fallout from that. I guess I'll adapt,
regardless.
How will all this play out in terms of using a camera and being able to
see the menus and controls? Stay tuned.
