A couple weeks ago I got done with my cataract surgeries. They actually just replace your lenses nowaday. I opted for powered lenses. The results are AMAZING!

I've never had any kind of surgery before so I was scared but this was a piece of cake. Now I can see distance without any glasses and my vision now is crystal clear and colors pop. (I did give up my near vision in exchange so I need reading glasses now for closeup work, but it's well worth it!)

For those of us who have spent much of our free time on the water with the sun reflecting into our eyes, we can get really bad cataracts earlier than others. I think of all the times I watched my line drift through the reflecting sun while I only cared about catching the fish.

So you young'ns take care of your eyes and you over 50s, get the surgery if your eye doctor says it's time.
