glasses
It's official. Less than five years after getting LASIK surgery, which allowed me to see without glasses for the first time in about 25 years, I will now need to get reading glasses. I've become farsighted.
That's bothersome enough, but more depressing is that even though the doctors feel that this will help with reading, working on the computer (something I do very often), and even night driving, I will probably need to wear them most other times as well. (That is, they are thinking of these as actual reading glasses, ones you put on only occasionally, whereas I think I'll need them much more frequently.)
I had been holding out hope that another LASIK enhancement would fix matters for perhaps five more years, but it's been deemed too risky for insufficient benefit.
I'm very troubled by this, because to me a return to my glasses days is a return to days of even lower self-esteem.
On top of all that, I think I'm developing dyslexia, which is probably not even possible.
