As heard from multiple sources “oh my God, there is SO MUCH LIGHT HERE!” A common consequence of cataract surgery appears to be lowered electrical bills
Also the realization that “white” isn’t what I had come to think it was. I had about six weeks between eyes and seeing white in one eye and kind of a washed-out sepia in the other took a bit of getting used to.
