I just had an interesting procedure done. I know that I have mentioned the negative results of my cataract surgery's. It wasn't really the operation it was my bodies (specifically my eyes) reaction to it. In the process pieces of the substance that light focuses on to allow you to actually see the image of what you are looking at, had pieces break off and float around behind my eyes lens. These are called floaters and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There are those little dots that float around and makes you think that there are bugs flying around you so that you can do this laughable number of gestures trying to swat them away. Then you have some that float in front of your vision looking like little worms or small threads floating by. Then there is the "screen" types that make it feel like you are looking through a very light shears type curtain. I had/have the latter. I was told and have been told for the past 4 years to get used to it because there wasn't a procedure to get rid of them. Your brain will eventually ignore it. However, it is hard to ignore a screen that you are looking through. Over the last 4 years I have made a major pest of myself. After all, I had them do two cataract operations because I wanted to see better, but as it turned out, I knew that I had crystal clear vision because it took a few months before the floaters materialized, so I couldn't see any better. I could still drive and see all the objects that I needed to see to successfully perform that procedure, but it was and is extremely annoying to always have your vision disrupted.
Anyway, they finally decided that they should use a laser to sap them into tiny little hardly noticeable pieces. I was a little concerned because I could not figure out how they would shoot a laser beam through my cornea, and lens and be able to sap those floaters without doing any damage to the aforementioned eye parts. They explained that the laser consists of two separate harmless rays that converge on the target before it gets in destruction mode. You don't feel anything you just hear the power noise like a shot when the target is zeroed in on. I only had one eye done on Monday and will have the other one done on Friday. Things were pretty blurry right after the procedure but by Tuesday morning I had almost completely clear vision in that eye. It may never be perfect, but I can tell from that one eye that I can see so much clearer and focused. Keeping my fingers crossed for finally being through this eye fixation for good. I am indeed a human video game. I'm never sure whether or not technology is a good thing or a bad thing.
