The wonder of sight and technology

 


Right Eye after Cataract Surgery 

Today 30th June I will go for my second procedure, for cataract surgery. Last week on the 23rd I underwent the procedure at Mt. Alvernia Hospital. I rested for 7 days (minimal activity and occasional outgoings) and today is my second procedure.

I feel very blessed and happy to have a top notch surgeon, I will not reveal his name at the present time. Medical Technology and advanced science  means that with the procedure, most if not all of my sight will be restored.

In the coming days, weeks, months and years, I have made a promise to myself to practise excellent eye hygiene, learn eye exercises, cultivate good eye habits and have appropriate and ample time for rest.  One of the most precious gifts God has endowed us, the gift of sight is to be treasured for us all,  as  long as we are alive.
