    Hopefully you'll handle glare better than I do... When they checked me, I misunderstood the instructions... Oops! My glare is just as bad as it
    was before the surgery.

    I've not had any problems with glare, just halos around lights which will go away. The halos do not bother me as I wear glasses with prisms in them and
    the prisms cause halos can that cannot be corrected.

    Right now, my eye is a little sore and these damned eyedrops are driving me nutsa but it's nice to be able to see well with one eye at least.

    Sean,

    My cataract surgey wentr wekk and wow, I didn't know hpw bad my
    vision was. My right eye sees everything in a dull yellowish
    tint and my left eye sees everything in brilliant color. Can't
    wait to get my right eye fixed next month!

    Fine business. My visual acuity went from 20/2000 to 20/20 with a
    little bit of astigmatism. I had worn glasses since 4th grade, and
    the elementary school teacher told my parents that I couldn't tell
    time. They said "He can tell time...he can't see the clock!!". Dr.
    Mike McFarland, who pioneered the no-stitch cataract surgery, did
    mine. When he came out with it, they thought he was crazy. Now, it
    is the industry standard.

    But now, the dry corneas cause blurred vision without warning, so
    I had to quit driving, and sell my car 3 1/2 years ago. So, unless
    I get transportation to another deal, I never leave the house.

    Yet, I'm glad all I need are reading glasses when working at the
    computer, with the smartphone, or with my new ham radio playtoy, the
    SharkRF M1KE...where I can now do AllStar.

    73,

    Daryl, N5VLZ
