It was so wonderful to see a BLUE sky again. Everything had been gray!
In bright daylight, I was wearing sunglasses with clip on sunglasses over them. That was still "uncomfortable".
There's a point where I guess your pupils dilate and things kind of "even out".
In the couple months leading up to my surgery, I'd hold my arm straight out from me. I could tell the difference every couple weeks as I could no longer see my fingers, hand, wrist. They just disappeared into "the haze".
I was at a point I couldn't even read a job application, let alone work.
I had to wait until I was 62 to take an early retirement to generate some income to pay for the surgery.
Fortunately, I found a surgeon that gave me an extreme discount and a payment plan I could handle.

For those that need the surgery, do it sooner rather than later. IF you see the "halos", you need it. Things will just get worse until you do.
It's been 4 years now and I see just as well as I did 2 days after my surgeries.
