[lace] Cataract surgery
Hi Devon, and anyone else who is interested, I had cataract surgery in both eyes nearly 2 years ago. I was very short sighted... I think about 6.5 and astigmatic. Wearing varifocals to counteract the long sight which comes with age.German health insurance offered me implants to correct the short or long vision. I think I would have had to pay extra to have the special varifocal lenses . I decided to go for the option which corrected my short sight. Waking up and being able to see the other side of the room was like a dream come true. As I am a teacher, it was suggested that I might choose to go for the option of correcting my short sight to a slightly lower degree which would enable me to read without glasses but give me slightly less good distance vision, thus obviating the need to take glasses on and off all the time. It didn't appeal! I didn't pursue the varifocals option after my eyes doctor, whose judgement I trust, told me how some of her patients had reported 100% satisfaction but about half reported haloing . Some had to have the lenses replaced. One doctor apparently places 2 different lenses in the eye so that one can be removed If the patient in doesn't get in with them. Basically it seems that the varifocal option could be extremely good in the future but is still a bit too variable in its success rate for my liking. End result. I,'m more than happy. I have very good distance vision though should wear glasses for driving. My vision for lacemaking and reading is adequate in bright sunshine but needs glasses otherwise. The one Euro version of reading glasses is fine for reading but not quite good enough for lacemaking. For that I need prescription glasses which correct my astigmatism, or else I miss the pinholes. I can still make Honiton! It does take time to adapt If you have spent a lifetime being shortsighted as I have. I still miss being able to hold a needle 2 inches from my eyes and thread it, but I'm sure it's safer not to! Think I've covered everything but please ask if not!

Thanks to Nancy Neff for her feedback. I've now established that pp.28-33 load on a laptop, though not on a/my tablet. Hope this helps anyone else who may be having difficulty.

November 3, 2018, 7:28 AM Yes, the e-version is now available online. Unfortunately 5 pages don't load fully. I've sent an e-mail to the Lace Guild asking if it can be fixed. I'm assuming this is a problem at their end, not mine, but I'm not really tech-savvy enough to know. Perhaps someone else who gets the e-version could take a look at pp. 28-33 and tell me if the bottom of the pages is missing for them too?
