On Friday August 22nd I had cataract surgery. The new lens is a toric lens that adjust for astigmatism. I also elected for a lens that optimizes for close distance. Surgery went well and the recovery process is proceeding. One of the things I learned after surgery is there is a two to three week period for the eye to adjust to the new lens. The other is my lens prescription has changed and at some point will need new glasses.
My left eye is sort of picking up the slack but it has enough problems of it's own and will get a replacement lens early in September.
Mostly, it has brought any photographic outings to a halt. On the other hand, I do have the Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim plus the Holga. Maybe I will be able to post some new pictures before October.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Sorry you have joined the club that nobody wants to join. I recently had my own eye troubles, but I remembered I didn't need eyes or light to develop film. Souped three rolls while blond for five days. Had to wait til I got a bit better to scan them, that and not seeing were hard. My wife put on standup comedians so I could listen. It helped. Get well soon
