EYEBALL MAGIC

No, this isn't a fried egg...it's Jack's right eyeball as the surgeon goes in to take out the cataract. I got to watch on a flatscreen mounted very high up on the wall, so folks in the waiting room who didn't want to watch didn't have to crane their necks.




Here they are using a funny little sharp hooked tool to loosen and tear apart the old lens and then they suck it out with a mini vacuum.

Then they just blow in the new lens through a little tube. It just uncurls

The surgeon plays with it to make sure it goes into place where it should. The actual surgery took 15 minutes. The entire visit took about 2 hours.
Nice touch with the tropical flower photos on the wall, probably taken by one of the surgeons.
So Mr. A is taking it easy...no tango dancing, heavy lifting or golf/tennis/ racecar driving for a week. Things will be quiet and even more dull than usual for a few days.
