My eyes were only 20/40 before, so they weren't that bad, but I did have problems following my golf ball and sometimes in softball. After the one eye was done, I now know why. By comparing the new eye, all the whites are so much brighter. When I look out with my old eye, everything seems to have an amber tint. They won't do both eyes at the same time because of possible infection, leaving both eyes infected. Last week at the one week post-op, my new eye was already 20/25, so it clearer and as I said, colors are much brighter. I'm getting ready to leave now for Gainesville, getting the other eye done tomorrow. I'll be glad when think is over, no exercise for two weeks and no lifting weights for four weeks.
