OT more me Me MEEEE ! eyes

Happy day, oh happy day. Both my distance vision bionic lens and my only
one-week old close vision lens are settling in and getting better by the
hour.
How you would laugh at when I walk the yorkie about sunset. Have to wear
a hat and sunglasses since I'm so not used to seeing light. really.
Colors are glorious. Yogi just HAD to go out about 3 am and I got to
see the morning star for the first time.
There wasn't a whole lot easy about this journey. It's 'just' my eyes,
you know? and I'm such a coward but I was never alone.
Anyhow. I've graduated. 20-20 in both eyes.
Tomorrow, I can wear eye make-up. Not likely since Friday is house
cleaning day but I just might gussy up with make up and wear high heels.
When you grow old and need help with your vision, call on me. I'll hold
your hand. Polly

Very happy for you Polly.
I wish I had 20-20 vision.

Oh, I'm glad that things did work out so well for you. I don't know what I
would do if I ever lost my eyesight. Isn't it great to live in times when
it's possible to have old body parts replaced? ;-) Me, I am saving money to
get me varifocals since I found that my close-range eyesight has been
deteriorating since I got my last pair of glasses about a year and a half
ago. After asking how old I was (turning 45 this September), the optometrist
mentioned with a gloating smile that at my advanced age it was normal to
suffer a dramatically worsening eyesight. However, he assured me that after
an initial 'drop', things would stabilise to needing a new pair of glasses
only every five years. Thank you, sir!

Anyway, now that you have your new lenses, do go ahead, create something
spectacularly colourful and tiny-stitched! :-)

U.

Same situation when I turned that age group too! I did try bifocals but
didn't get along with them at all - eventually, I opted for a separate pair
of reading glasses for everything. Last testing: I am using the reading
glasses for permanent vision - I haven't worn my distance glasses for months
and my doctor told me that if it works for me - good for me! She said that
she could give me a new prescription for 'actual' reading but I said that I
was more comfortable to do any book reading without wearing glasses (same
for any hand sewing) .. it has worked out less expensive over the last
several years since distance and close prescriptions changed so slightly
with each test that it was optional whether either had to be changed at all.

Oh boy do I Ever remember that one. Grumpy eye doctor said, " A woman Your
AGE would have to be highly motivated to wear contact lenses."
That was just like waving a red flag in front of me. That was when I was
about 45 too. Just a kid. Polly

Excellent! WooHoo! I know this has to have been a pretty stressful event
for you and Mr. Esther. I am glad it is done and the results are to be
enjoyed. Good for you.
Hugs, Taria

I am so glad it worked well for you. Sight is so precious.

I was SUCH a coward about my laser eye repair for the torn retina last
year, and that episode has taken its toll visually*, so I know how
terrifying the whole eye thing is from the inside.

*Technically I have lost a few light receptors to the 450 or so laser
blasts they 'stitched' it back with, but the brain very quickly
compensates for that. The thing that is different is that I have many
more permanent 'floaters', I am far more sensitive to bright light, and
that eye is slower to adapt than the other. But I CAN SEE! So joy is
unconfined.
