7. Not so good for me

My cataract surgery was done over a couple of years ago and there were complications. Now I can't see very clearly close up or far away even with my glasses and I have an extreme light sensitivity so I need RX sunglasses. I also have dry eye and have to frequently use eye drops which also distorts my vision. I may have to quit driving soon as it becomes harder to see road signs. My vision continues to decline despite getting many new eyeglass RX's. After numerous visits to ophthalmologists I have given up on any hope of improved vision following my surgery. I guess I should be glad I still have any vision at all. I'll just have to accept the hand I've been dealt. This surgery is not as routine as you might think and most patients do okay but your results may vary.
