Behind the name
Trying to beef up these early days of the blog to help me get a handle on things. So let's take a moment to examine the name of the blog. We all know names have powerĀ both in Judaism and various fairy tale traditions. And let's not even get started on branding.
The name for this blog came to me in 2015 after undergoing the most recent of many eye surgeries and procedures. During recovery, I started thinking about another procedure I've had: YAG Laser Posterior Capsulotomy. This laser procedure removes clouding from the lens coveringāaka the capsuleāafter you've had cataract removal surgery. While contemplating my recent surgery and the procedures of the past, I started thinking about how this decade-plus-long struggle with my eye health has shaped my identity.Ā
How do I summarize myself and what my blog will be? How do I encapsulate it?Ā
With an encapsulotomy.
