I was born blind as a bat - glasses from second grade on. Vanity made me "forget" my glasses quite a bit in junior high and I became used to living in a fuzzy world. Contacts restored my sense of sight and vanity in high school and I became a reluctant slave to solutions, drops, lubricants. Fast forward to lasik eye surgery in 2004 - one of the best decisions of my life. 20 minutes later, I could see the time from across the room. I woke poor Lee up 10 times that night "Hey, it's 11:54" "Hey, it's 1:47" Hey, it's 2:09". A week later, I gleefully donated contacts, glasses, and solution to the Lion's Club and went about my life with perfect vision. Fast forward to yesterday. The doctors had told me Lasik doesn't last forever, and sadly, they were right. I had become used to living in a fuzzy world once again. I've become a reluctant slave to all those liquids, this time with a feeling of absolute defeat. Well, not a total loss- I still don't need reading glasses!
