Remember to retreat in all PBEM games, and don't attack during blizzard. This will help your eye recover.

Thanks all. So far, so good. It will be a while before my eyes are used to both working on the same image. Sort of like looking cross-eyed at the moment. Once the retina and optic nerve for my right eye get used to being able to see more than just a yellow blur, I should be as good as new. Well...as good as can be expected, at least.
I can tell already that the new artificial lens is brighter and clearer than my "good" eye. It seems that I have some minor cloudiness on the good (left) eye and will likely have to undergo the procedure again after it's clouded over enough to be legally blind in it, and thus covered by insurance. In the meantime, I need to practice focusing with the new eye.

How did it go James?
It went well. My 'new' eye is, at various distances, better than my 'old' eye. The artificial lense is noticeably clearer than my remaining natural lense (it's beginning to get a little yellowish). However, I was expecting a clearer long distance focus than what I am getting. I think that I will have to do some exercising of the eye, in order to redevelop my long distance focus. At distances of 1.5-10 feet, it is crystal clear. Beyond that, I have to work the eye to focus. Under that, I still need to use 1.25 mag reading glasses.
