Ophthalmologist Visit
Following up on Paul's comment, when I had my eyes lasered (for Posterior Capsular Opacification), I had a big talk with the Surgeon about eyes and we discussed similar things to you, Paul. I also think he was pleased with someone who knew something about it. He used a Nd:YAG laser and we talked about neodymium and yttrium which were part of the laser crystal.
If anyone needs PCO treatment, go for it (it refers to a gradual clouding over of the lens covering after cataract surgery). It has improved my vision at the telescope, and of course in life in general!
Annette,
I went for a regular eye checkup this morning and was chatting to the optometrist about my new telescope. She was quite interested as she also has a long standing interest in things astronomical (and an excellent knowledge about vision, naturally). So we talked about eyepatches, dark adapted vision, averted vision and so on. She was pleased to talk technical with someone who had a reason to try to understand the issues.
