And yes, it was wierd with one 'good' eye (no lens in my frame either), and one bad eye.<br /><br />I also am surprised that you have to wait so long in between eyes. My guy does them 1 week apart, which was great! Only walked around for 1 week feeling off balance from those two wacky eyes :-)Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-84423953247269121422013-09-27T10:06:38.425-07:002013-09-27T10:06:38.425-07:00It must be a weird sensation while you're tryi...It must be a weird sensation while you're trying to walk. Does it make you feel off-balance? While cataracts are fairly common, is this something that is often seen in sjogren's, Julia?

It was also ruined beyond all hope.<br /><br />Yes, she is still alive.

Nine years post op my left eye sports a secondary cataract but it hasn't reached the point of clouding my vision....<br />Although, after glancing down at the word I must type to prove I am not a robot perhaps I should be phoning for an opthamology appt! Where do they come up with some of those letter combinations?!Lisanoreply@blogger.com
