New sight.

Halley can see now, thanks to cataract surgery

Halley the blogger has new vision thanks to cataract surgery she had this week: Doctors removed the lens from her eye and replaced it with a new, plastic one, like an internal contact lens. She describes how rich and intense the colors are after this surgery, like an illuminated manuscript.

Karen had a similar procedure earlier this year and said the colors were incredibly vivid, saturated, Technicolor, the way things look in the movie Babe: Pig in the City. She also said everything was more 3-D, like looking through a View-Master.

Thanks, Halley, for posting such a beautiful description. You’re going to have a great time looking at things now!
