Today Jim had the first of his two cataract surgeries. Surgery was about 45 minutes from start to finish…driving time between Anacortes and our opthamologist in Seattle was about 4 hours (round trip). All went well, and we will have a couple more trips to Seattle in the next week for post-surgery exams to be sure.
Tonight Jim is wearing a clear, hard plastic eye patch to protect his eye for the next 24 hours…kinda a pirate look… His second eye cataract surgery will be in 4 weeks.
