An Eye For An Eye

No, I'm not seeking revenge on anyone. Who does that?

Today, I will be speaking of my eye surgery. Yeah, I had one. Go figures I didn't talk about it.

Truth be told, there isn't much to say, at least in my opinion. But, alas. Others disagree. My eye is fascinating.

Once upon a time, little 18 mo old me, poked my eye with a pencil. Then my eye got a hyphema, my pupil is a key whole pupil. Exciting stuff. Feel free to look all of these definitions up, but ONLY if you don't get queasy. Yeah, my growing up involved a lot of showing off my eye, much to my displeasure. So because of this accident, I wear glasses, my vision is to others, terrible. I also was a youngin with a cataract. Yeah, not just your grandparents get cataracts.

So the surgery. It happened to get rid of my lens with a cataract in it, and to replace it with a brand new one! Also, my doctor put a capsular tension ring in my eye. Again, look up, but there is a warning. So yeah, I get a new eye glasses prescription. I'm super duper excited to see how well, I now see!!

So that's my story. My parents and doctor tell me that I'll have to warn future dates that I have an eye of a 40 yr old. Because that's what matters...Yeah, I'll be the one constantly taking my glasses on and off because my glasses lens won't automatically change to the different distance like it once did. Hence the eye of a 40 yr old.

So now you know, and we don't have to ever speak of it again. YAY!

Have fun, don't go injuring your eyes.
