-- Emface, Ultraformer, Endolift... I wonder when they will construct a time machine, so all of us can finally get back all the lost collagen. I wish you a healthy recovery, Val. Xo.

Dear Val,

Congrats on being halfway there to hyper 20-20 vision in both eyes! I hear you about having to cope with only one good eye at the moment. Iโ€™ve had this challenge my entire life, with extremely low vision in my right eye that cannot be corrected with glasses or surgery. And a few vision impairments in my โ€œgoodโ€ (left) eye.

Since you need binocular vision for good depth perception, I have wonky depth perception. And the glasses I wear make everything I see look much bigger and closer than they actually are. So I understand that feeling of oneโ€™s eyesight not being coordinated. Luckily this has not interfered with my love of reading and writing. Moving through space is a different issue. LOL!

Looking forward to seeing what a difference cataract surgery might make when itโ€™s my turn to have it. I hear the options in new lenses are amazing!

Enough about me! Fabulous post, so smart and thoughtful, as always!

Congratulations on your cataract surgery. You sound like Dorothy in Oz. Or maybe Dorothy with one eye in Kansas and one in Oz. Half way there!

Speaking of self-tanners is there one for the face you would recommend? Iโ€™d never thought of using it but Iโ€™m pale in Cape Cod. Becky
