今週はその処置（要するに水晶体嚢にレーザーでいくつもの小さな穴を開ける）をしてもらったのだが、変化を最初に感じたのはiPhoneのメニュー画面がアップグレードもしていないのにやたら綺麗に見え、何が変わったのだろうかとしばらく考えたほどだ。僕の場合、手元40-50cmから2-3mまでの範囲はピントもコントラストもばっちりになって、これなら老眼鏡なしで新聞も読めるし、最初の手術の時以上に鮮明な驚きを感じた。右目がここまで改善されると、左目にも実は濁りが少し発生していたことに気付く。今回の処置後でも遠くの文字は右目では2重になって左の方が若干判別性は良かったりするのだが、メガネをかけると右目のフォーカスは著しく矯正されるのに対して左の方はやや甘い。経過を見てこちらも処置を考える時期が来ると思う。
I felt my right eye was losing the focus last fall after more than a year since I had had cataract operation. I revisited the hospital as the new year started and the doctor explained it as posterior lens capsule opacification that could be addressed by a laser treatment fairly easily. This occurs to almost everyone after cataract operation although the degradation of visivility varies.
I received the laser treatment of making tiny holes in the capsule this week, and the first change I recognized first afterward was the iPhone’s menu screen that was much clearer and beautiful without having no upgrading, and I was trying to find out for a while why the software could improve the graphical quality! Roughly in the range from 40cm to 3m, the focusing as well as the contrast got perfect in my right eye, now no need for glasses to read newspapers, which was even greater surprise than the visibility I got after the first operation. Once I have achieved a new reference, I now realize that the same “cloudy” problem resides in my left eye, less in its amount though. When it comes to distant visibility, the left eye occasionally remains better because I see double-images in my right eye, but the glasses completely correct it while the focusing in the left eye does not reach that far.
