my right eye is a distance and the left a close-up
I was given that option with my surgery, because they weren't sure how much correction I'd need for close-up. But I did a test run with two different contact lenses, and it was horrible. There was always a sense of something being out of focus, and one of my great joys is being able to look out at the landscape and see it in focus. I only need readers for small print, and if I have a bright light I don't need them then.
Sean, much health-ma to your mom. My dad had A-fib 7 years ago, and after they stabilized him, they inserted a pacemaker/defibrillator right into him. He's still going at 88.
Health~ma for your mom, Sean.
I should look at the implantable contact lens surgery. Given that my mom just had cataract surgery, and my maternal grandmother & great-grandmother both had cataracts, it's a fairly sure bet that I'll have them.
It doesn't do anything for the cataracts though--I still have my original lenses, and could totally get cataracts when I'm older.

Oh. Darn. Still, no contacts (or glasses) would be a bonus. Maybe in a few years.
The Facebook "Here are your memories!" list is rolling around to that time two years ago. Maybe I shouldn't read them. But hiding from it doesn't make it hurt less.
Sean, all digits crossed.
Sean, lots of mom~ma.
Connie, yeah, words are just so inadequate for times like this.
Lots of ~ma for your Mom, Sean. I know it's scary, so some for you too. {{{Sean}}}
