[Leica] IMG: Eyes in Transition

[lluisripollquerol at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll)]

Jim,

I hope you feel better and your eye goes soon in the right way to work. I 
had cataracts surgery two years ago and I can do focusing better, I?ve asked 
the Dr. what I was interested for was for better focusing ability. I have 
two lenses behind my eyes? I don?t know if Leica glass?. the Dr. has said me 
that he will repair my eyes for correct viewing at medium and long distance, 
for reading or working with the computer I need glasses but not for 
focusing, for looking the f stops or speeds in my camera, if I?m in good 
light I can read it , not very clear but I can do, in darkness I need the 
glasses.

Your pictures are very good and your camera works perfectly, thanks for 
sharing I wish a fast recovery.

Have a happy New Year

Cheers 
Lluis
