After weeks of being torn between being a trooper and being one of so little faith -- i finally filled the prescription that my doctor gave me for a pair of temporary astigmatism glasses.
i just picked them up today and it's amazing how much better they made me feel. Just to be able to see the world corrected, and crisper. Not totally perfect ( as my eye changes during different times of the day) but just enough. i realize that there is threshold of sharpness i need to have in order to be a happy camper and the glasses just gets me there. and i couldn't care less if i am 20/20. Life looks good from here.
The scenario is just how i dreamed. i see great without them, i am not blind, i am not vunerable or helpless. i can ID someone if they attack me. i just see slightly better with them. Just enough for me not be annoyed.
The optometrist explained that my prescription is mostly just astigmatism and that essentially my eyes are almost 20/20. 0.25 D on my left and 0.0 on my right, it's the astigmatism that is making things blurry.
That in itself is quite a miracle since i was 6.5L and 8.5R before my surgery.
Now i just have to pray that my astigmatism will go away and then i will be home free.
But till then, thank you God that i didn't lose what was most precious -- correctable vision. and i am thrilled that i can find my glasses!
