In addition to moving my quilting back to my studio from the living room, I am in the process of getting cataract surgery. My left eye was worst and I had surgery on it last Tuesday. I got the near vision lenses for sewing and needlework. So far so good. I can't focus enough to work on quilts just yet. My other eye is going to be operated on next Tuesday, and I get new glasses for distance (driving) two weeks after that.
Some of the things I was surprised about were that the pre-op took 1.5 hours, the surgery about 15 minutes, and another 15 minutes in post op. I didn't realize how dim everything had gotten. The left eye shows me bright colors and white, now. Everything I look at through the right eye, has a veil of tan over it. The dimming happens so gradually, you don't realize what you have lost!
I also had to take the left lens out of my glasses. It's kind of weird, seeing everything with two focuses. I hung up my jacket last night and missed the hook entirely! Depth perception is off until the next surgery is over. Hopefully, I will have some new things to show you in two or three weeks.
Keep stitching. Love Susan
