Well, yesterday I had my Phacoemulsificstion with intraoculsr lens implant. That is the medical term assuming I spelled that right.

It is weird, the gave me some happy juice in the IV, and then about 8 eye drops over 5 minutes. Zero pain, and there were two lights I was supposed to watch carefully. and look in between them. The initial orders had a mistake and they said they were going to do the right eye. I said NOPE, I will not submit to that. They double checked, and they found they had written it down wrong, and the wrote yes over my left eye, and taped a clear plastic cover over my right eye.

So almost 24 hours later, my vision in the left eye is much better than my OEM eye was. It is still not yet as good as my OEM right eye, but he said it will take some time for my brain to adjust.

The biggest different I notice is the left eye shows color about 15 CC (color correction units) less yellow or things appear more blue. As a life long photographer, precise color has always been important. When we shot 4x5 or 8x10 sheet film transparencies often the emulsion batch from Kodak would vary some from box to box. We had to color correct that with small color correction filters in front of the lens that they came in 5 CC units. So in my mind, the difference is left and right eye is 15 CC. It is much the same when making color prints. The enlargers had filters that we used to make a color print the proper color.

I have an appointment to see the eye doc in a couple of hours. And again next week.

It will be nice to have the increased sharpness of the new lens. I have yet to drive at night and see the flairs of light on oncoming headlights.
