UPDATE ON MY EYES
As many of you know I had an “enhancement” surgery on my right eye yesterday to do a final correction on the surgeries I had before. I had my left eye done in January and it is great – I am seeing 20/15 with that eye. I had surgery done for “monovision” meaning that my left eye is corrected for distance and my right eye for reading. The amazing thing is your brain is able to fuse them together to give you good eyesight at almost any distance. (you need glasses for very closeup reading…)
My right eye seems to be much better already. I won’t know the full results for at least a month, but I can see a difference already. before this, anything i saw with my right eye was just fuzzy. Now it’s like I’m looking out a dirty window, so as my eye heals that will become clearer.
The good thing through all of this is that the diopter on my 5D allowed me to see clearly. (But I didn’t think it was appropriate to always use it for a pair of glasses..)
So I am very excited and optimistic about this. I’m looking forward to the next several weeks as my eye heals. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers.
Here is a little something to make you laugh. Also, if you havent checked out the latest post by Randy. It’s a hoot!

I think every woman in America wishes she could wake up every morning and have someone photoshop herself…

hang in there Mark. we’re just gonna keep praying until your eye is fully healed.
Glad to hear it is already working! Hope you are feeling good.
I’m so glad you are feeling better Mark! I wish my friend could be improving too…but she’s
really scared to do the other eye but knows she has to do it because she can’t be stuck with
one eye.
I’m feeling a little bit better—just very very sore. I can barely get out of bed. I want to
blog about what happened but its like, I’m still trying to get my thoughts together. It’s sort
of a miracle in a way, how God saved my life.
So Sorry I havent been by, Congradulations on your beautiful grandson!!!! and I will be praying for your eyes!!! take care!!
hope you heal soon mark! and o yah, congrats on your grandsone again btw! =) cheers and ill be keeping you guys in my prayers. take cares, steve
Praise God that you are seeing improvement already, Mark. As for the PhotoShop, apparently I’ve been going about things all wrong. Here I thought I needed to diet. Sheesh!
