In 2018, my mother was nearly seventy years old, and she always said to me: "My eyes are blurry and I still have tears." "I'll take you to see my eyes when I'm free," I replied, which was also very busy at work.
Later, one day, we were preparing lunch together, I was washing rice and cooking rice, and my mother was in charge of picking vegetables, when suddenly, I saw a green vegetable worm, squirming and crawling on the leaves that my mother had picked. "Mom, there's a bug crawling on top of your dish, can't you see it?" She said "I didn't see it", and from this sentence, I seemed to really realize that my mother's eye problem was already very serious. "Tomorrow I'll take you to the hospital to see your eyes!" After that, I made an appointment for the next day's ophthalmology.
The next day, take her to the hospital early, the crowd in the hospital is very dense, even crowded, after the examination and then go to the clinic to see, the doctor looked at the examination report: "Her eyes are cataracts, must be operated on, otherwise she will be blind." Listening to the doctor's words, it gave me a blow to my heart, even if there is a risk, but if you don't do it, you will lose the normal ability of life without a chance. With the current high development of medical technology, I resolutely chose to believe in the doctor, believing that her eyes would rebuild the light.
A week later, my mother was admitted to the hospital, and after the examination, all the indicators of my mother also met the conditions stipulated by the eye surgery, and the operation was arranged the next morning.
The moment mom entered the operating room, my heart pounded and I prayed silently in my heart that her eyes would recover after the operation. Standing outside and waiting, the palms of my hands constantly sweating. I don't know how long the time has passed, and my mind is full of anxiety.
Later the doctor pushed the wheelchair mother out "well done." I sighed a long time, and the tight heart that was hanging finally let go, looking at my mother, my heart was full of mixed feelings.
"Just after the operation to eat liquid food, can not wash your hair and bow your head within a month", the doctor seriously instructed, taught me to give her eye drops...
After the operation, I unwrapped the gauze covering my eyes and I asked, "Did you see that?" "See very clearly." She replied. In an instant, my joy surged into my heart, and for a month, her eyes could clearly see the world as it was.
A year later, her other eye was also restored to light after cataract surgery. In this era, our lives are fast-paced, and we always ignore the elderly who need our care because we have no time. Therefore, we should pay attention to the combination of work and leisure, and take care of our eyes. Only by seeing the light in the eyes and the heart toward the light can we capture the beauty of life and find hope and direction.
