My vision in my "good eye" has improved :)
Edited on Sat Dec-03-05 01:08 AM by SoCalDem
We had to get new glasses before the calendar year ran out (union plan..cheap cheap..)..

The guy we used to go to retired, so we had to find a new one.. He was like a kid in a candy store when he saw my "bad eye", but the good news is that my prescription for my good one has improved to 20-45..the bad one is 20-400 (what a hoot, eh?)..

I can;t wait to get my new glasses they are nifty as hell,, they come with a cute little sunglass thingie that has magnet and just swooshes into a little slot..

I'm sticking with the drug store reading glasses..

They had a new test for depth perception that I totally failed (gotta have 2 working eyes for that one), but overall, I am relieved..

Cataract surgery on my bad eye will probably be in Feb, so I may end up with a little vision in it.. The iris is "tangled" up with the cornea, so it's dicey..but I am willing to try to get some vision back :) Got nothing to lose, since I can't see with it NOW :)

1. That is good news!
I have the magnetic clip on sunglasses...the magnets are not very strong, just so you are aware...my clip ons fall off if I am doing something strenuous. (I have terrible vision...)
