The Saga of the New Eye Glasses

These days nothing seems easy. Though the cataract surgery went smoothly, I now have almost perfect far vision but limited near vision. Before the surgery it was the opposite I could read without my glasses but seeing far away was a dilemma. Now I feel like Mrs. Magoo for those of you old enough to remember near sighted Mr. Magoo. Easy enough to fix that with glasses-right? WRONG!

Now after my second pair of lenses and new frames, I can see a little better...but not perfectly. I just want to be able to read the comics in the paper and the news, but it's blurry. After three different eye exams, I think we may have found the problem. I have a floater in my left eye which slightly blurs my vision both near and far. It's suppose to go away 2-4 weeks after my surgery....hopefully. So in the meantime, I'm using reading glasses from my friendly Walmart with a power of 3.0 and have a pair with 4.0 ordered. As I said...life is full of little challenges.
