I knew mine were really bad whereas he just hadn't realised until he had the one eye done. Colours and clarity are now excellent.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-49717270743501318972013-09-08T19:32:02.832+08:002013-09-08T19:32:02.832+08:00Thanks Denise.

There are no sparrows in Perth....it is against the law. No blackbirds either or mynah birds.<br />I think if the right eye has to be done he may look for another specialist tho' he's been seeing this one every 6 months since he was diagnosed with glaucoma a dozen or so years back.<br />Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-44559804925096235162013-09-08T19:28:21.169+08:002013-09-08T19:28:21.169+08:00Yes, he was certainly glad to have that stitch out...Yes, he was certainly glad to have that stitch out. Most of the more modern specialists don't use stitches in cataract ops these days (so we've been told).<br />He even told me about the wagtail when he rang to let me know he was OK.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-352243716272489822013-09-07T01:29:16.369+08:002013-09-07T01:29:16.369+08:00The clean up crew lol.

They are cute little birds, we have them here in the parks and I've seen a few in the gardens around the flats here. In the city crumbs are mostly cleaned up by sparrows and pigeons. I always try to drop a few where a sparrow can see them, as I think the greedy pigeons get more than their share.
