I was surprised that Ellie's eye surgery went as fast as it did. We were in the clinic by 9:30 and out by 12:30. All seemed to go well.

After the cataract surgery, the doc did a laser procedure on her left eye. I was surprised that the Yag Laser is such a simple thing. Dr. Webb deadened Ellie's eye with anesthetic, stuck a lens under her eyelids, and , using a joy stick, shot a laser into her eye about a half dozen times. This is supposed to clear anything that has accumulated on the back of the lens capsule. But Ellie is complaining of unclear vision in that eye. Hope it's temporary.

Back to the clinic tomorrow morning for follow up.
