In reply to the discussion: I've finally been given the crisp long distance vision I've longed for my entire life as a person with severe myopia. [View all]LiberalLoner
(11,454 posts)It feels like our whole lives, we are chasing after that clear distance vision. Sometimes we get corrected to twenty twenty, its always what they aim for, but almost immediately our myopia progresses so we spend I dont know what, 90% of our lives with mildly bad to really quite bad, distance vision.
So what a relief it is, what a dream come true, to have excellent distance vision!
I didnt cry, but I felt every bit as emotional and joyful.
I asked the surgeon, how do I keep this good vision, I am scared I will turn myopic again. He said nope, that wont happen, these lenses are plastic, they wont change, and your eyeball wont continue to grow longer now that you are over 60.
I hope that is true, because I have wanted vision like this my whole life and it feels like a miracle to have it!
