Well, that explains why it worked so well for me. I've been an invalid for 20 years, had "variable" health since a rugby accident in 1963, and without modern cataract surgery would have been completely blind for the last ten years. Going from can't-see-my-fingers-in-front-of-my-face to full vision overnight is an amazing and wonderful experience.
