April 12, 2007 One week pre-op

Today is my 49th birthday. One week from today, the lens of my left eye will be suctioned out of my eye and replaced with a multifocal lens implant (trade name: ReZOOM) in a procedure called a clear lensectomy. Two weeks later (May 3), the lens of my right eye will be replaced with a ReZOOM lens.

Basically, I will undergo cataract surgery about 25 years earlier than the average cataract patient. The goal: life without glasses or contact lenses.

This morning I had a preoperative medical exam to ensure that I will be able to tolerate the anesthesia.
