They told us to be expecting some weather. They even mentioned that it would be wet, loud, windy, and even dangerous.
They were right
Seems like I"ve been wearing glasses all my life. But I wasn't, at least for a period when I didn't need them. Even so, it was a trying time because I lost vision in my right eye due to an infection resulting from cataract surgery. No legal action was taken, although I wish I had, life went on with me having one good eye that was functioning well due to Lasic surgery.
Then one thing after another resulted in me slowly losing my vision in my only good eye. Eventually, I was told that I would have to wear corrective lenses (glasses) for the rest of my life. A small price to pay to be able to carry on with my life.
But for various reasons, mainly glaucoma-related, I haven't been able to wear glasses because the pressure in my eyeball was high and too high for any surgeries or special treatments. And it was unstable, making fitting glasses virtually impossible for me to see clearly, consistently. So I gave up driving almost two years ago.
Thanks to a specialist in glaucoma, my pressure now appears to be stable and I was fitted with glasses. They didn't work well, so I continued my half-blind life.
About a month ago we tried again, and things looked promising . So we went to a $69 optometry store to buy some cheap ones to try. They helped but not enough to drive or read a book.
We sent to another optometry store where I could get an exam and two pairs of glasses for $69. It took some extra effort on their part, but it appears that I may soon be able to drive. My vision is still blurry, but with the use of lubricating eye drops, along with the glaucoma eye drops, I was able to read a sign and a page out of a book today.
I'm not ready to drive, but I'm hyped up for it when the time comes. I've got people to see.
You can now put "Excited" out beside my name.
