28. Damn those bad left eyes!!
Tue Mar 3, 2026, 09:59 AM
Yesterday

I HAVE had minor issues in my left eye since the surgery and had to have it redone last year. I still have floaters and my vision isn't perfect in that eye. I had an accident involving it when I was in my 30's and it's been iffy ever since, but I guess I'm used to it and can drive as long as I have GPS since I don't see some road signs well. But hey, I don't have to wear the ultra thick glasses anymore and that's a true blessing! I use GPS religiously when on unfamiliar roads, so it works fine for me. While not perfect, I am functional and that's what's most important!

My sisters' Wet AMD is also in her left eye, so I repeat what I said above!
