I found that my eyes don't focus for close anymore. But that's the price to pay for age. None of the things that you mentioned (or my doctor) have to do with mine ... just old age. But it's easy ... so to speak. I was able to talk to my doctor while he did the surgery - but couldn't see him. <br /><br />I'm glad I did it ... but still use Norm for chauffeur most of the time ... or sister Candy or daughter Joy. I've gotten lazy about driving.Connie Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000331487489593437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-28120237035034886012010-01-26T19:41:10.367-06:002010-01-26T19:41:10.367-06:00Will be thinking of you and the pictures are just ...Will be thinking of you and the pictures are just beautiful!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998455958377639450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-86571359750831627912010-01-26T18:32:36.019-06:002010-01-26T18:32:36.019-06:00Here's to a great recovery!!

I am so nearsighted that no other surgery will work for me. I hope you get along ok. More people who had it done the old fashion way many years ago had horrible results, including my father in law, but today, my mom was in and out and home two different days and she was gleefully back playing bridge the next day.L.

My little 82 year old MIL tested 20/20 after both her eyes were done. She as always wore glasses and were just part of her so she insisted on glasses anyway. We bought new frames and she has clear lenses in them and is a happy camper again. I will pray that yours goes just as well, I'm confident it will.<br /><br />God bless you and give you sweet rest tonight and peaceful calmness tomorrow.Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10175389676508928061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-74608355933316389102010-01-26T15:39:41.030-06:002010-01-26T15:39:41.030-06:00You will do fantabulous.

Gone are the days when it was a troublesome procedure - now it is easier than having a tooth pulled. Just think of all the sights you can focus on after it is done.

He was like a kid with a brand new toy! And he had to wait six months for the second eye because his cataract in that eye wasn't as bad. He was nervous, but it was all worth it. Wore pop bottle type glasses his whole life, but now he only wears glasses when he drives! Doesn't need them for the computer, to read, it's GREAT!!!DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-69918395155579910322010-01-26T13:42:14.971-06:002010-01-26T13:42:14.971-06:00Sorry to hear this, I will be thinking about you. ...Sorry to hear this, I will be thinking about you.

Exciting though really, new site! Wow! So is seeing the lights at night anything like looking at them without your glasses on? And to eventually see like a real person, too weird for me to think on, both Dirt and I are major nearsighted, oddly enough not one of our four girls needed glasses.
