On Wednesday, March 11, I had the cataract in my left eye removed and replaced by a shiny, new, plastic intraocular lens. And by gosh, it's amazing the difference it makes! I had a distance, monofocal lens implanted which means my distance vision in the left eye is now great... and clear. I'll need to get some cheap reading glasses to help with the near vision.
The color rendering between the right and left eyes is now extremely different with the left being more natural and the right having a yellowish-brownish tint to it. Plus, the visual acuity in the right eye really sucks now compared to the left. In another 6 - 18 months I'll probably need to get the right eye fixed. Hopefully I'll still be around to report on that.
About Me
- Wayne Turner
- I was born, raised and went to school in eastern NC. Too immature at 17 to comprehend the seriousness of university life, I dropped out after two years and joined the Air Force. I spent two years of my four year military career in Germany, which I enjoyed immensely. I completed my Bachelor's Degree at Guilford College in 1985. My first career was in the computer field where I did everything short of design one. I've spent the last 30 years in the environmental field working for local governments. In December 2017 I retired from full time work. My overdeveloped sense of fairness and justice lands me on the liberal side in my political views. I think government plays a large role in social responsibility in a civilized state. I believe in the innate compassion and goodness in everyone despite the daily news reports to the contrary. My genetic predisposition for generosity in nearly all things is sometimes a source of future angst. I've been a musician and still have a deep love of music. I am naturally curious about all things especially metaphysics and science.
