If I couldn't I'd likely go utterly bonkers. Much the same with me. The only thing that saved me from coke-bottle glasses is better materials to make lenses from. As it is the operation went well, the check-up today didn't reveal any immediate problems, I have 20/20 in that eye now and have a mid-April date for the operation on the other eye. But I am/was so massively short-sighted that trying to use both eyes now gives me a splitting headache, so I'm wearing an eye-patch until then. -- I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky dirty old man.
