He picked them up, gathered up the pieces, made them initially comfortable and safe, I had to put them back together.
And Thank You too. Medical workers of all different description have my thanks. I really don't want to dwell on my health if modern medicine and the medical professionals suddenly disappear tomorrow.

Re: watery eyes

Just thought of this. Lynda had rapid growth cataracts in both eyes earlier this year and was nearly blind. She had both lenses replaced with artificial lenses and now has 20-20 vision. Yeah, we like modern medical science and specialists.

Re: watery eyes

Amazing what we all take for granted, not only in medicine, but all of the technology that surrounds us.
Now if only the politicians could get their act together and do the right things, other than just trying to reassure their own re-election. Sorry, I digress.

Just get and wear the full face helmet. You need all the protection you can get.

That's amazing. I had no idea that was possible.[/quote:2p3frtzn]
One lense is replaced and the other is not done for about 6 weeks or more. Probably for health and safety concerns. The entire procedure to replace a lense is 13 minutes !!!!! Instant results too.
Our wonderful health care system will pay for the surgery but not the lenses. Each lense was $950 a pop but the results are worth it. Not really an issue if you have that much onhand.

To put it into perspective - my hearing aids were double that, and people accept the price as normal.
