| valorie | I'm looking forward to getting my cataracts removed in Dec. tho | 20:06 |
|---|---|---|
| RikMills | valorie: I bet. I have an elderly relative who needs persuading to get those done. my eldeest niece (not actually very much older than me) has been doping those ops for a while now. they sound quite routine | 20:15 |
| Mamarok | valorie: I'll ask my doc to do that together when I go, didn't see him this time, he had a cold and communicated through the nurse | 20:16 |
| RikMills | *doing | 20:16 |
| RikMills | s/older/younger | 20:17 |
| valorie | I was about 6 mo. overdue for a checkup when I saw my eye doc a couple of months ago | 20:17 |
| valorie | last time, he said wait; this time he said it's time | 20:17 |
| valorie | I thought my glasses were bad, but no, my left eye is pretty bad now | 20:17 |
| valorie | can't wait to see clearly again | 20:17 |
| RikMills | yeah, my relative was basically told we can give you a new prescription, but it won't help much until you get that done | 20:18 |
| valorie | doc said I could trade my glasses for maybe just readers, and maybe nothing | 20:21 |
| valorie | for the first time since puberty I will be able to drive without glasses! | 20:22 |
| valorie | since I don't drive much I don't usually wear them much anyway | 20:24 |
| RikMills | valorie: that is the thing that struck me. they replace the lenses with one that are correct for you, so in theory you don't need glasses any more. quite amazing | 20:28 |
| valorie | I'm glad I waited | 20:28 |
| valorie | the choices are better now | 20:28 |
| valorie | modern medicine can't do everything, but gosh it's better than even 20 years ago | 20:29 |
| RikMills | undoubtedly | 20:33 |
| Mamarok | cool, looking forward to this, too, then, my left eye is half blind in low light | 20:51 |
