The second cataract has been removed this morning. It was even less
stressful than the first one. I didn't see any "flashing lights" during
the surgery this time. Next thing I knew I was awake and being wheeled
out of the operating room and was discharged about an hour of so later.
I did find a pair of old +1.5 diopter drugstore reading glasses which
are working well for the computer right now although +1.75 might be a
tad better. The +2.0 are doing OK for reading.
