Medicare and cataracts...

10. I opted for the upgrade

Full disclosure : I am naturally near sighted in my right eye, far sighted in my left eye. Astigmatism in both eyes. Upgraded lenses took care of the astigmatism. And since my eyes were already set up to handle near and far naturally, I don't need glasses of any kind. For the first time since I was 5 years old, no glasses hanging on my face. It is wonderful!!!!!!!

The only kicker is near distance which was set up for reading. It didn't dawn on me to check the music stand distance which is a little too far for the near vision eye and a little too close for the far vision eye to see the music notes clearly. I have adjusted - sit forward on the chair a little and bring the stand a bit closer when I play clarinet in band. For handbells, I whined and complained enough to get my own stand which I can position any way I want. 😆
