2010-07-09: New eyes - glasses goodbye!

Yesterday I (Mats) had an eye operatation and removed the natural original lens and got it replaced with an artificial bifocal lens. The method is called RLE (Refractive Lens Extraction or CLE (Clear Lens Extraction). The operation was rather straight forward and painless. Dr Wamidh Simawi and his team at Capio Medicular really took care of me in a professional way.
Already leaving the operation I had some eyesight, and when I came home 2 hours after the operation I could watch TV. Gradually the short range eyesight is comming and I can now, 24 hours after the operation, use the computer. We just think it is totally amazing, and Anne is more or less getting convinced to do the same thing if her eyes are suitable for operation.

  4. Wamid,

    of course I will get baack to you before we leave :-). Kaj is currently in La Rochelle where his wonderful Amelit is made. They are doing a one year maintenance check on her, so she is in perfect condition when they are passing the Atlantics.

    See you soon
