Cataract

Dad has been complaining about poor vision for so long.
He always blame that the glasses is out of power.
As a daughter, I didn’t pay much attention on that until last yr brother’s wedding, we took sometime to bring dad to get a new pair of glasses. The optician told us that dad has cataract problem and glasses cant help at all.
Dad’s hobby is reading newspaper and watch news, by seeing him struggling to read news paper and tv, we encourage him to undergo the operation. But u know ler, old man resist on operation kind of concept and always try to drag.
Recently, after talking to an uncle who just undergo the laser treatment, sister took some time off to bring dad for checking and he finally undergo the treatment last friday.
The first thing I hear from dad when I call back, dad sounds so impressed and happy, claiming that he never know that our new LCD TV is that clear and the car he brought 10 yrs ago look much newer now! Everything is so clear that he can see mom’s white hair the first time (ehm….it does sound abit sad here as they both getting older liao….)
He says it is like a re-born to see the clear world! I am so glad he finally decided to take the treatment!
Now he can spends hours reading newspaper and to admire the beauty of the world.
I am so happy for u dad! And proud of u for being successfully stop smoking after more than 60 yrs of smoking!

Do u have ‘cataract’ in ur eye that block ur vision? Stops u seeing the beauty of the world?
Pls be brave to treat it !
Don’t drag!
Appreciate the beauty of life, the caring u received and the love u had not until the day u lost it.

视觉变得更清晰,同时感到更年轻有活力!
别说老人家,
我想过做近视的镭射,
还是怕怕! >_<'

Sis, do you know how clear dad can see? Last weekend i was with him, from our house, he can see our primary school name and year. To be specific, he can read not only the chinese name , but the english name which I can't read with my spectacle.
