<\/p>\nPaying it forward.<\/p>\n
I was apprehensive about having cataract surgery so I put it off for several years longer than I should have. But dozens of readers of Feathered Photography reassured me, from their own experience, that their surgery was “easy”, without complications, and that the results were spectacular.<\/p>\n
Without question it was that feedback from my readers that gave me the confidence to proceed with my own cataract surgery and I’m very glad I did. So, figuring that there are many others out there that are in the same boat I was just a few weeks ago, this morning I decided to provide my own encouragement for them to go through with it.<\/p>\n

Human Cataract – Creative Commons<\/em><\/p>\n Yesterday morning I had my second and final post-surgical appointment with my surgeon, Dr. Stagg. He told me that before surgery I had 20\/100 vision in my right eye. 20\/200 vision is considered “legally blind”, so before surgery I was halfway there. I believe it, because all I could see out of that eye was fuzzy, dim blurriness.<\/p>\n He said my vision in that eye is now 20\/20! I believe that too, because everything is now bright, crisp and clear – including through my viewfinder.<\/p>\n So if you have a cataract that qualifies for surgery, my advice would be to not put it off. At some point, you’ll wish you hadn’t. I can almost guarantee it.<\/p>\n Now, I’m girding my loins for tomorrow morning’s root canal. I can hardly wait…<\/p>\n Ron<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Paying it forward.<\/p>\n
