I must admit, I wasn't sure what this thread was going to be about when I first read it earlier. My 6 year old grandson truely had face altering surgery when he was 6 months old and then again when a year old. He was born with a cleft pallette. He's an amazing kid with absolutly no fear. No fear in what he does physically or in having fun. Heck, at 1 year old he was flirting with the beautiful nurse and she was falling for it
Any way, congrats on getting better vision.
I had the first doctor tell me the same thing. They said I was too old (60) for lasik to be a good bet. Then I saw another doctor. He does the procedure differently. The way my eyes are done, I read with my left eye and my right eye is for distance vision. I do not notice it at all unless I close my left eye and try reading with my right. The same is true for closing the right and trying to read something far away.
