Amazing Surgery , I have just had my eyes done for cataracts and lenses put in , I now don't need glasses after 45 years of wearing them , this going to help my sewing lots as I can now so clearly see all dark colours and threads , it is so good , I am doing a happy dance .........Cathy

So happy for you Cathy. Had the same surgery many yrs ago, now 75yrs young & alas back in glasses again but it was wonderful how well I could see for a long, long time.

Congratulations. I'm happy for your good fortune. Wonderful to have many, many more years of super eyesight. *

I am glad to hear this news about the cataract surgery. My eye dr told me I need to do it, I am scared beyond scared to have something messing by my eyes. I also told him I wasn't old enough yet, my way of avoidance... LOLOLOL.

Yeah! I am so happy for you! Happy Stitching!

Great News and now you can read it without glasses! Suzanne

Just wonderful! Enjoy every single "Augenblick" (look with your eyes) and you can see clearly now !

Great news, x

Congratulations! Now you have a whole new world opened up to you! Lol

Oh Cathy - this is wonderful. Did you get the standard lenses or one of the new special lenses? My DH just went through it - all the eye drops were something to get through!!! Hugs, Laura*

Sounds like a very successful operation. I can just see that dance of yours!

That is super good news! Congratulations!

Congratulations, Cathy! Enjoy your new, perfect vision and colours.
Hugs, Lidia

Yea! Enjoy your new eyes and the bright new world.

Brilliant news Cathy, those cataract operations are so successful these days. I've only been wearing glasses for 12 years, so maybe a few more years before I have it done. Love and blessings Chris

Good for you. Seeing the world through a new pair of eyes has to be amazing. Like Leaha said. I would probably look for my glasses first thing in the morning.

It is the most wonderful operation. So many of our friends have had it done with great success. Enjoy your 'clear' sewing. Sarah

I know how you feel! I had both of mine done and when I went back for my check-up I told my dr,I feel like I have been through the car wash and cleaned my windshield. Everything looks so bright and clear. He laughed and said he had never had anyone express it like that before...Toogie

ps. I had been wearing bifocals and now just wear reading glasses to sew/emb to do close up things.

Yes, isn't it great when old eyes, can be made new again? Wish you much joy of your new found freedom...what's funny is how often you will go looking for your glasses even though you don't need them! :-P

Congratulations. I look forward to getting mine done in a few years (just starting).

Wonderful news! I am looking forward to the many items you can now stitch and post pictures for us in the Projects tab
