Hello everyone, I had my appointment this morning with the Mayo ophthalmologist and I'm scheduled to have cataract surgery done on my right eye July 31st. They also scheduled me for a COVID test 2 days prior to the surgery which they do the nasal swab and a blood test...and reschedule the surgery if you test positive. I'm really kind of excited now that my daughter said she would take the 31st off and be my chauffeur. I was kind of surprised that they are doing my right eye first since it's the better of the two and the master eye that I use the most. He said that they usually do the main eye first because you will see better. Also because I have an astigmatism in both eyes but the right eye is not as bad as the left. The downside for having an astigmatism is that the replacement lens that fix it are not covered by insurance.
Color me a happy camper!

Good news John. I hope it works out well for you. And the bright side of doing the better eye first is the bill's going to look kind of fuzzy to you ("Oh gee, that amount was $2000? I thought it said $200. Golly!") Best wishes for success John. Hank
