For the last few days, I have been comparing sight between my left (corrected) and right (cataract) eyes. Its all still pretty amazing to me.
Looking through the left, whites seem whiter and colors seem more vivid and crisp. Its like the comparison between analog and HD TV - better picture. The interesting part is, you don't really realize it until you have the first eye done.
When I look through the right (cataract) eye, everything looks filtered and takes on a faint yellowish hue - kind of like a bad TV picture. On top of that, the right eye is blurry again due to the constantly progressing cataract.
A few nights ago, I was watching a TV show with doctors and noticed that the color of their white jackets changed as I brought my hand up to scratch my nose. When I brought my hand up on the right side, my left eye took dominance and the jackets looked pure white. When my hand was on the left side, the right eye took dominance and the jackets looked yellowish. When I removed my hand from line of sight, the jackets looked only slightly yellowish, the overlaying of the 2 images within the brain. It was pretty amazing how my brain blended the 2 different views into a single image.
So, these remaining few days, I am appreciating the difference that the new lenses make, since after Wednesday I will no longer be able to make the comparison. And whites will be truly white!
