A mixed sight : protein and plastic lenses

Yesterday I had one protein lens destroyed and replaced by a plastic lens. In normal talks, I had an eye surgery to remove cataract and to implant an intraocular lens (IOL). The operation went well as planned (according to the record logged by the surgeon and his team) but I missed all the actions by unaesthetic. When I woke up half an hour later, it was time to go home with both eyes seeing.

I realized then that I now have a mixed sight through natural protein and plastic lenses.

For one more week, if I do all the right things like putting drops in my eyes, avoiding bending, heavy work and anything that may put pressure on my blood circulation and burst the incision in the eye. I should see the world twice better that before (with cataract in one eye). So touch wood ;-)

Where I live, this cataract treatment is fully covered by ‘Medicare’ (costing some $2-3,00 in manhours of specialists and support teams, operating theater procedures, and medical supplies, but free to me).

I am wishing myself well and hoping to master my better sight soon.
