An Easter Miracle

Apr 08, 2007 18:23

I wear contact lenses--or lens, rather, since my eye surgery. It's going to take a long time for the new left cornea to heal enough to put a lens on it, so I mainly muddle along without binocular vision. Since my eyeglass prescription is almost 10 years old, I use it mainly as backup. I don't normally wear my glasses for more than the length of time it takes me to walk from the bathroom to bed. Oh, sometimes I read in them for a bit, or finish the last of my evening ablutions, but I don't really spend a lot of quality time with them, so to speak.

Which is why I was surprised almost beyond coherent speech, after putting my glasses on, to idly close my right eye last night and notice that I could still see. Things all the way across the room, even. I could read. Not perfectly, but at least with the clarity I used to get out of my hard lens.

Oh my god, it works. My new cornea works.
