The silver lining is that you had a doctor who had your best interests at heart. My mom had cataract surgery on one eye nine months ago and she is still healing. They won't operate on the other eye until the one is 100%, thank goodness. Our eyes are too important to take chances. My eyes are wonky with astigmatism and I now need progressive lenses, so I'm not a good candidate for contacts or corrective surgery. I was sorry to hear this isn’t going to work out for you.

I got squeamish just reading your email. I've worn contacts for 30+ years, and now I just wear glasses a lot more -- cause it's easier. I sometimes even have the second pair of "reading glasses/magnifiers" on with my glasses because I just can't take the bifocal step yet! I have lots of friends who've done the laser surgery and love it; I just know it's not for me. Good for you for getting that far with the process! I got squeamish just reading your email.
