Glad to See Again
Since mid-2010 my vision kept deteriorating constantly and in late 2012 I wasn't able to recognize a face within a few meters from me. Walking around was still relatively easy on familiar grounds, but a bit difficult outside my usual path. As you know, I kept taking pictures: my zoom lens became an eyesight enhancer that made me able to read distant signs and street plaques.
Exactly one year ago, on 25 January 2013, I underwent a quite simple surgical procedure that allowed me to regain most of my eyesight. This photo of our Dutch church was my last “blind” shot.
The following day I had an after-surgery visit in Pisa and they finally freed my eye from a protective patch. Coming back to Livorno we stopped in Marina di Pisa, where I took my first shot “after”.
It was a beautiful day.

Congratulations, VP! One would have never known.
Beautiful windows.
Good news, that it went well with you.
I did not know, but it must have made a huge difference.
What a beautiful church.
It must have been frightening to have your eyesight declining. I am so glad for you that the surgery has restored most of your vision. Hurray!!!
This is a brave and inspiring story, VP. Thank you for telling it.
Glad the visual is clearer for you now. Amazing how a camera can help us out in so many ways ;)
From personal experience I know the feeling of fading eyesight and then getting it back. We both are living in the right age of medical science.
These are good news, VP, I am very glad for you!
And this is a beautiful post!
Surgeries are amazing. 40 years ago, you'd still be feeling around in the ;dark'.
I'm glad to hear that your visual is much better now! As for the help of zoom I am quite aware of it too...Nice photo after.
Che magnifica veduta! Ciao, Arianna
Beautiful shots! Glad to hear your surgery was successful and helpful to your photography. :)
Glad you have recovered your sight, VP, and I love your last "blind" shot.
