Year of the bad EYE

September 1, 2011

My appointment with Dr. Lewis confirmed what Dr. Winword diagnosed.  My right eye, which I had surgery in, changed.  A cataract has developed that is still causing blurriness and slight double vision.  My vision is 20/100 without my glasses, and 20/50 with them on.  Either way, I need the cataract removed.  My appointment has been scheduled for the middle of October.  I am not looking forward to it, but if it corrects the problem, it will be worth it.  I was also told I am border line of having Glaucoma (a degenerative eye disease of the optic nerve).  So, now I have to have the pressure of my eyes tested twice yearly for the rest of my life.  Glaucoma cannot be reversed once it starts.  It causes blindness.  I have a lot to look forward to.... bummer!


On a lighter note, Jarrett celebrated his 6th birthday today!
