Apparently that is part of the dimming. In my right eye the cloudiness passed over my pupil and really obscured my vision in that eye.

Both eyes have been done and no problems have been noted. I get my follow up with my regular eye doctor on Monday.

“I now know that my original equipment lenses have become yellow from the cataracts ”

Welp, I didn’t know cataracts could do that. Learn something new everyday. I just thought eyesight became dimmer but didn’t know about the color thing.

Hope the second operation was as successful as the first. That’s a lot to be happening in a short period of time.

The ones I mentioned should sound familiar, Hipparchia. They’re either retro 60’s style psych-pop (Black Angels) or jam bands inspired by the Grateful Dead (BJM, Black Mountain). The nice thing about music is that it comes around again, and there’s always something new that sounds like something old except with enough difference to make it worth listening to.

Staying Alive and I Will Survive would definitely not be on my play list for surgery - too many negative vibes there. The rhythms are fine, but the lyrics are ehhh... ;)

i don’t own any earbuds so I guess I can’t have any eye surgery 😈

as for the suggested playlists, I’ve at least heard of the groups on your list. I’ve never heard of any of the ones badtux mentions, had to go look them up on the internet.

and as as a card-carrying member of the disco generation I’m thinking beegees (stayin’ alive) and Gloria gaynor (I will survive) and others of that ilk 🙂

That’s where the tranquilizer does its job. Between the local anesthetic eye drops and the tranqs you don’t get any input except the light show. You don’t feel anything. That’s why you need to have dark glasses with you. Your eyes are dilated to the maximum and the eyeball can’t feel anything, so you need protection from light and dust. Your blink reflex doesn’t work properly.

Add some Black Mountain , Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Black Angels to that playlist and I can dig it. But I still can’t stand someone touching my eyeball. Last time, I passed out. Nope, no joke. Just passed right out.

It’s a light show. You can’t feel anything but if you bring your ear buds and have Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Moody Blues, etc on the play list you won’t care after the tranqs kick in.

The fun bit is that you are awake and get to watch them messing with your eye this is why I'm going to put off getting any kind of eye surgery I may ever possibly need, forever if I possibly can.

The second eye gets done tomorrow. I now know that my original equipment lenses have become yellow from the cataracts and I just lost an argument with my sister-in-law over the color of my bath towels – they are blue not teal.
