Well , I got good news , and I got bad news

September 20, 2023 01:30PM
generally speaking , my eyes are pretty healthy , no glaucoma , which I was starting to worry about

bad new is , I'm developing a cataract in my left eye , but I knew that already , they told me like a year ago at my last exam

so I went back today for a new exam , the cataract is gettting a little worse , not terrible , I can still see out my left eye okish , kinda sorta , but figured it was about time to at least start thinking about getting it fixed , so they set me up with a cataract place , to get in and get the exam from them , but the earliest I could get in is like the middle of November , so I ordered a new pair of help glasses with a new prescription to get me by short term

although the cataract isn't to bad , the only time I notice it , is if I close my right eye and just use my left eye , then yeah , things are starting to get blurry ,well , blurrier then normal , I've worn glasses since grade school, so they've never been perfect , although my eyres have never been bad , I could survive without glass , and often times around the house , I don't even wear them

luckily , cataract surgery isn't a big deal
