I've gone from a young man with 20/7 vision (yep -- almost impossible) to 20/15 with glasses.
When my distance vision began to deteriorate in 2005 (right when the eye doc said "I don't think your vision will deteriorate"), I started making the rounds of LASIK docs. They all said I wasn't a good candidate, because I would have to trade off my then-excellent up-close vision for the improved distance. And as I aged, that up-close vision would be much worse, they promised.
So I got glasses while I noticed lots of former four-eyed critters, like Bob Dancer, dumped theirs and got zapped. So not fair.
Well now my up-close sight is going to crap. Time was the cat sniffing my face was perfectly in focus; I could to read a miniaturized 10-7 Double Bonus strat card with no help, no problem. Good thing I memorized it, cuz it's pretty tough to read now.
No cataracts (yet), but seems I'm just continuing my steady ride down Blurry Road. Maybe before I go totally blind they'll have replacement lenses that work.
They have artificial hearts. How hard can it be?
