Arthur’s cataract procedure/Carlos Pueblo
Yesterday
morning, I accompanied my son Arthur to his cataract procedure,
a small
surgery on his right eye which bothered his vision lately. We arrived
an hour
early before the appointment with a full room of patients. Dr. Jong
has a very
successful practice. It was 9:48 am when he entered to the surgery
room and
came out at 11:00 am with a successful result. The cataract surgery
is the
removal of white membrane which growing through the years outside
of the
natural cataract hinder the vision. The surgeon will replace it with an
artificial
one to help the vision. I have been done on both of my eyes and now
with a 20/20
vision for far sight reaches. Arthur is still needed prescribed glass
for his
astigmatism on his new right eye.
Cataract pocedure is very common for the senior with Arthur’s case is very rare
for the
people at young age. Dr. Jong has arranged 27 surgery in the morning and
five simultaneously.
I can see the instant report on a screen at the waiting room.
The modern
medical technology has been improved that you don’t need to have
the surgery
eye covered after the procedure. After 24 hours, the patient goes
back to the
clinic to be checked and that’s it. Last time when I had had my left
eye done, I
did check on the medical dictionary, the cataract surgery was developed
almost 3000
years ago in India. My Asian Indian surgeon mentioned it that there was
no anesthesia
available; therefore, it was very painful.
We’re very
thankful for that Arthur is in good health in compare to his turbulent
beginning of
his life. He has been working his current job for 11 years with health
insurance.
After returning home, I checked his income tax information available
for filing
that his dividend income has exceeded his salary last year. It is working
for his
financial strategy built by both of us.
