For some time, Rob has noticed that he isn't seeing like he should. At a visit with the eye doctor in August, she determined that he needed to visit an eye surgeon for possible cataract removal. Sure enough, Dr. Rupp said that this needed to take place. The right eye was operated on one Tuesday and the left two weeks later. It was a pretty simple procedure in which they make a slit in your cornea, remove the bad lens and replace it with a new one with his prescription which just unfolds inside. It is amazing. For three weeks afterward, we had to give him three different eye drops at different times of the day for different purposes. When we left the outpatient department of the hospital, he kept talking about how he could now see in technicolor. Here is a little of the process:
Just before getting his right eye done. If you look carefully, you can see a little red dot over that eye, so the surgeon doesn't operate on the wrong one.
He had to wear the plastic eye shield at night for a couple of nights..
Horsing around with his plastic eye patch and his CPap mask!
And now the finished product! Isn't he as cute as ever!
