I was just sittig around the other day and thinking, "man, it's been a long time since anyone has cut into one of my eyeballs - at least a year." We can't have that, now cane we?
Having had my fill of Pars Plana Vitrectomies for the time being, I thought I would branch out for the next surgery. This time I thought I would give cataract surgery a try and see how it feels to have someone cutting into my eye while I'm awake and fully conscious.
Cataract surgery sounds so much more benign, doesn't it? Well, it is a bit less invasive, I'll give you that. Cataract surgery entails a surgeon cutting into my eye over the lens which will then be broken up with ultrasound and sucked out with a little vacuum so that they can fit a new, artificial lens in my eye. Fhew! Is that all?
I was hoping the surgery could have been done on the Christmas holiday, since two of the last three Christmases saw me having eye surgery, I was hoping to put this best-of-five series away this year. But, no such luck and I'm settling for recovering over my birthday, which is, I guess, the next best thing.
