Second Opinion: the First Doctor is Right

[sinanju]

Or, in other words, I'll soon be getting eye surgery. Specifically, cataract surgery to replace the lens in my right eye, mostly but entirely due to glaucoma issues. The thickening of the lens is contributing, if I understand correctly, to my glaucoma.

The new lens will be "paper thin" and thereby reduce the pressure and alleviate most if not all of the glaucoma problems. It will also correct my near-sightedness, so I won't need glasses anymore except for reading. It will also be ever-so-slightly tinted. And assuming it goes well, the other eye will be done about a month later.
