I’m a zombie there as well.

Threads is too zucky for me.

My wound doctor today was the first one who noticed I wasn’t wearing my glasses.

Renewed my professional license today. Changing my email with the agency was pretty much more difficult than the original licensing exam.

Spouse left on a trip this AM, and entropy has already taken hold. Didn’t take a shower, sprawled in a recliner, social media brain-killing, waiting for someone to deliver food. If I had voted for Tubby, I would be the picture of an American male.

Today I ordered my first optional glasses, two sets of reader glasses. Much much less expensive than the heavy pairs I’m used to.

But I’m still writing this on my phone, no correction no problem.

I’m looking forward to losing these glasses…

Did the final lens adjustment today, and am now waiting for the hyper-dilation to recede. Doc says we hit the targets, and my eyesight will now be, overall, 20/20 and no correction required. Slight variance, right eye is adjusted for distance vision and left eye is adjusted for close up vision, mostly. We leave it to Mr. Brain to balance the difference. Astigmatism is gone.

I sometimes find myself trying to push up my glasses, which are not there. I chuckle.

56 years of wearing glasses behind me. Oh, I'll probably get some readers for nights and for fine work. But when they get lost or break, I won't be SOL. Tomorrow I can go out in the sun without UV protective glasses and with a big smile on my face...

Hah. I find myself, from time to time, absent mindedly pushing up a pair of ghost glasses. It makes me chuckle....

Welp. I discovered it takes several days to recover from these lens adjustment treatments.

But after two, I can see distance with no issues, and near vision is good to go with the computer and serviceable at phone/ reading distance. I’ll need some mild readers occasionally, but it looks like I’ve not only cured my cataracts, but shed glasses entirely!

Our kitties love to scurry into the basement any chance they get ( except when it’s time to be fed. Then the open door is not attractive). Last night Cuddles Von Cloudburst spent the night down there and was desperately hungry when retrieved.

Except I no longer say they are stuck in the basement. Now I say “they must have been eaten by immigrants”.

Spouse asked my eye doctor recently if I was going to be able to get less heavy glasses.

After surgery and one round of UV adjustments (second round on Thursday) I can report that it looks like I won’t be getting prescription glasses AT ALL.

Remarkable.

Holy shirtballs, it’s only going to get up to 10 degrees C today. The cats are loopy as fuck and my joints hurt.

well crap. during the process to upgrade my computer, things went sideways and I lost a fair amount of models for a current project. At least I have them mostly worked out, in CAD and in brain, so resurrecting them won't be impossible.

But, you know, shit.

At least I don't have to lean in and squint anymore.

wow, they dilated the balls out of my eyes. And what a light show!!! They wouldn't play any Pink Floyd, though.... Gonna be a rough...

First adjustment of my new lenses. Going to get better near vision!

Any day now, I might as well get rid of my glasses. And my emergency back up pairs.

I just realized... the UV-protection glasses they gave me are 'They Live' glasses.
