mn, that sounds great! Is crystallens a laser surgery?
No, it is more like cataract surgery. The doctor makes a small incision in the side of your cornea and then dissolves, ultrasonically, the lens behind the iris. He then implants a Crystal lens. The lens will flex with the muscles in your eye to provide the needed focus as if it was your own natural lens. You go through about 4 hours of testing, mapping of your lens, eye pressure, all sorts of vision tests, etc. prior to having the surgy done.
If you are interested click on the link below. This is where I had mine done.

OK...BUMP!!! I happen to be home today nursing a cold. Boohoo... Anyway, I've noticed our breeze shooting has deteriorated somewhat in the waning weeks of the old year. So time to resurrect it!! Some of our more prominent shooters have been MIA. Where are you???!!!

Ms. P - please don't use the words nursing and home so close together in the same sentence in the Vintage forum Those were the first 2 words my eyes lit on when I looked at your post and I got worried.

I'm always lurking somewhere behind the scenes. Sorry you're under the weather. Feel better soon. Who YOU? Cause trouble? I hope Matrix is taking notes.

Been sick as hell since the Monday after Christmas, and just now feeling somewhat back to normal. I'll tell you, this has to be the worst illness I've had other than the cancer treatments. The doc says it not flu, nor is it strep or anything else like that. Just a very very bad cold, and do the usual fluids, etc etc etc...
