I had my left eye done and I go back on December 10 for a recheck and to talk about my right eye.
Here is the amazing part. Right now, for the first time in my adult life, I do not need glasses. The new lens in my left eye allows me to see distance. It really screwed up my near vision, however. BUT, my right eye (the one that hasn't been done) has terrific near vision. I am finding that my eyes are compensating for each other. When I need to see far away, my left eye automatically focuses. When I need to read, or see up close, my right eye just does it. So between the two of them, I don't need glasses for anything.
Now, if I choose to have the right eye done, I'll see great for distances in both eyes. But I'll have to use reading glasses for anything close up.
So I'm wondering if I should just leave well enough alone and do without glasses entirely or go ahead and have the right one done and go back to glasses for reading, sewing, anything needing near vision.
I mean, it's pretty darn cool not to have to wear glasses. I even drove today without any glasses at all. I must make a decision by the 10th because if I want the surgery I have to have it done before the end of the year as I have met my deductible for this year.
