I've finally been given the crisp long distance vision I've longed for my entire life as a person with severe myopia.

20. Your story is the same as mine minus the Lasik.

I am 75 and had both eyes done in August. Such a painless and easy process and the results are amazing. However, that really intense vision and colors will gradually settle down a bit. When I got home from having my second eye done I swear I could see each individual blade of grass in my yard. I told the doctor that he failed to tell me the worse side effect - that now I can see how old I really look in the mirror.

My vision in my right eye is better than perfect and is now 20/15. I chose to sacrifice my up close vision for distance. My left eye will never be much better because I have wet AMD in that eye, but it did improve my peripheral vision in that eye.

Anyone on here who is even considering whether or not to do it, please don't hesitate. Yes, it will cost you something out of pocket depending on your insurance but it is well worth it. I was afraid to drive anywhere at night or anywhere I wasn't familiar with because I couldn't read road signs well enough.
