A few months back I was having a lot of trouble with glare and came to the conclusion that I may have cataracts.

A quick trip to the Optometrist confirmed my suspicions and I set about having the problem sorted.

I had the first removed on Thursday and when the dressing came off on Friday morning I had an OMG moment. I didn't realise just how bad my eyesight had become, although I got a clue when I was having trouble reading the camera viewfinder info.

Anyway I'm now looking at a brand new world, literally. I can now read the drop-downs on the computer, don't have to crank the web pages up to 400% to read them and I nearly fainted when I turned the TV on and saw the pores in people's skin.

Have to take it easy with the eye for the next 3-4 weeks and then I'll be able to try out my new Siggy 70-200.

Happy Days .
