I was right. They checked my eyes and set a date for the surgery. :hide:

To work on the scarring damage?

Yes, and attempt to realign the eyes.  My left eye has limited mobility so they are going to fix that, too.
Hope it will work out very well.

Are you wearing prismatic glasses now?

No, I think my doc advised against them.
Why? Wouldn't it be less tiring to have an aligned vision?

I wear prismatics and I think the optometrist said that they can make the eyes lazy as all the work has been done for them. My eyes still don't align right while wearing prismatics either. My left eye has limited mobility as well.

I think you are lucky to be able to get your eyes fixed, odeon, but I am also nervous for you. It is your eyes that will be operated on! When will it happen?

Eye surgery is scary but not as painful as it was just a few decades ago.

I remember my eye surgery in 1991. After the anaesthesia was gone, the eyes felt like getting a root canal with no anaesthesiaX10.   :zombiefuck:

I'm nervous, too. They're only doing stuff with one of the eyes, the left one. They say that removing the scarring might well be all that is needed.

Oh, so did you have that Lasik surgery so you wouldn't need to wear glasses anymore?   :orly:

It wasn't Lasik back then but some other kind of laser. But that's was the reason, yes.  :viking:

I've worn glasses for near-sightedness since I was 6 or 7, tried contact lenses only briefly. I don't mind glasses.   :checkout:
