When the kids were little, we referred to prostheses as "robot" parts, as in, "he has no arm, so the doctor gave him a robot arm." They were greatly amused when I referred to Kathe's numerous gold crowns and gold-framed tooth as "robot teeth". Since then she has acquired artificial hips as well, and as of Tuesday morning we can add the lens of her right eye to the list (the old one had cataracts, and light-refracting wrinkles). When she's recovered, they'll do the other eye.
She's still seeing double, so the extent of the improvement isn't yet known, but already she's noticed the increased brightness of the image in her right eye. Stands to reason, since she's had the window washers in. Still, so far all appears to be well.

All hail Kathe, the Bionic Woman.
Just don't let those robot parts forget who's boss. Robot teeth could do some nasty damage.
