What do rabbits do when they are happy? I think it is binkies ........they jump up and around at the same time.

Well, I will do some binkies for you, because this is such amazing and wonderful news for you to have such good sight.

Yes, we do live in a wonderful time - and it gets better all of the time with the research being done in so many medical areas.

Karen, I really am happy for you.

HEY! Have I told you guys I can SEE???

Burst into tears when I saw the doc. He explained his "allergies" when his eyes teared up! He said he was so happy since my sight was one of the worse he's seen. My vision in the left eye is now 20/25. I can drive, do anything but bend my head below my waist and lift more than 5 pounds, so I took a deserved day off and loafed with Logan. Still on eye drops for 3 weeks, but big deal.

Did I tell you guys I can SEE????

WHEEEEEEEE! You can SEEEEEEE!!!!!

I can identify only slightly as I went without seeing an eye doctor for several years. When I got my new glasses - WOW!

But you can actually see now! Are you counting Logan's eyelashes one by one, because you CAN?

Have a great happy lazy day!

Yes

I know that feeling. Had surgery in 93 and the difference was amazing. Even before early cataracts, my vision was dismal although I could drive. It's so great now, I don't always wear my glasses. I was just a tickled pink back then as you are now. Implants replaced bad lenses and it's been great.

So happy for you.

I've been calling all my friends 3-5x a day with that question and they love it! Sorry, I had to type it too!.

I drove all day today! Always hated driving because I couldn't see far enough in advance . Hated driving at night.

Every night i almost pull a contact out of my eye. oops. don't have to! Wake up, and OMG! I don't need my specs! I can see the huge LED alarm clock from across the room, not blurry red dots.

I can see in the shower! This summer I can swim without worrying about a lens popping out in the pool.

I pray I'm not jumping the gun and that I stay the same or even get better. I'm not very religious, but I dropped to my knees. Prayers to my awesome eye doc.

OK I'll STOP. I promise. I'm just beside myself with GLEE!

Go ahead and sing for joy all that you want!! I did the same, and I was just totally blown away at the wonderful results - and loved seeing true colors again and no more glasses required. Such a simple, quick and pain free surgery with such amazing results.

I still don't like driving at night tho.......
