Had my first eye surgery last Friday, fixing the cataract in my left eye. The next surgery on my right eye will be in about three weeks. The operation went fine and the hospital stay was pleasant. The only unwonted thing I noticed has been that my "new" eye renders colours in a more bluish and brilliant way while the other, the "old" eye on the right gives me the world in a sort of dirty-yellowish tone. This is an oddly feeling difference. The old eyes bathed the world in a warm light whereas the new eyes seem to render the world in a cold blusih monitor-style light. I already begin to miss my cataract. Perhaps I shouldn't have agreed to the surgery. I wonder how the difference in light sensation will impact my thinking and my sensing of the world. Pity.
