re: #13 retired cynic

Oh, no! I’ve been nearly legally blind my whole life, and got corrective implanted lenses when I had cataract surgery, and now it is nearly 20-20! Absolute heaven!!!!! Eight years of heavy bifocals, and 50 years of hard contacts, and now there is sight!

Be so grateful for such a wonderful gift! (and Medicare, so I was able to get it!)

I had to wear bifocals since I was 9 because I had double astigmatisms in both eyes. Kids used to call me “six eyes”. Oh, I hated that. Then when I went to high school I had to go to trifocals and I’ve had to wear them ever since. They can’t do Lasix on me because of the severe astigmatisms…
