Ocular update.
May. 14th, 2012 12:39 pmI had my cataract operation this morning, and it seems to have gone well - witness, I am home and doing a little light typing.
The weirdest thing about the whole experience -
Well, no, the weirdest thing was lying there staring into the bright light and seeing the dome of clear stuff (presumably not glass) that the nice surgeon was about to insert into my eye. That'd be hard to outweird. But:
The second weirdest thing was that some sort of music was playing in the operating theatre (I don't think it was radio, there weren't spoken bits in between the tracks) and the first thing I heard was an easy-listening rendition of Buddy, Can You Spare a Dime?
We are now in the period of seeing how it goes: regular eye drops, don't rub your eye, can't see through my glasses with my left eye (can't see without glasses with my right eye), don't go swimming and don't rub your eye.
I'll keep you posted.
