Here’s something that happened Sunday I wasn’t anticipating and which makes me think, 13+ weeks post Kamra Inlay surgery, I may be about to reap major bonuses from this innovative procedure! You see, all I remember hearing is how I wouldn’t need reading glasses afterwards – and it’s taken time but I’m just about at a point where I’m able to resume all my former activities without glasses! My left eye (the one with the Kamra Inlay) no longer feels as heavy – in fact, as my healing solidifies, I’m beginning to sometimes not notice it at all (as it should be)! And up until Sunday afternoon, when I was out walking my horse, I thought that lighter feeling was due solely to decreasing discomfort within my eye. But Sunday, as I walked from the barn to the woods and fields, it hit me: my near vision was surprisingly less muddled – that is, those things closest to me appeared sharper, greatly improving my overall clarity of view and thereby also generating far better depth perception than I can remember having! In fact, walking down one trail, the trees mostly bare and scattered along the hillside, it was almost like watching an Imax 3D presentation, the way the trunks and branches stood out in perspective from one another. And I couldn’t understand at first why this was happening. In fact, I couldn’t initially believe it was happening at all, wondering instead if it was perhaps just the way the sun was shining or maybe my simply being a bit too exuberant now that my eye’s further healed. And maybe it was. But then I experienced that same heightened perception as I gazed down a fence line, with fields and trees behind it. And I thought: so what if what I’m seeing really is the result of my near vision now vastly improved? It might just make my Kamra Inlay an even bigger bonanza (as if it wasn’t already significant enough)! I didn’t get a chance to ride Sunday or that could have provided further evidence (one way or the other). You see, riding before Kamra Inlay surgery, things closest to me, especially at a trot or canter, had been becoming increasingly difficult to discern, which I now realize may have been due to my near vision decline. So would things now seem clearer, and riding be easier today? That and a whole lot of other everyday experiences will no doubt tell the tale in days to come. And I’ll let you know. At worst, I’m thinking it may just reflect how giddy my new eyes made me feel on Sunday (and I can certainly live with that). But if what I’m saying is true, I’m definitely looking forward to what’s coming! And if you’re considering this same procedure, what might it mean for you?
