I am posting for the first time ever without glasses or contacts, and it feels great! Yippee!
On Tuesday, I went back to my eye doctor to get my new contact lenses for the vision correction system. They are rigid, gas-permeable lenses that I sleep in overnight. The first two nights, I didn't sleep very well because first, I felt like I had grit under my eyelids, and second, because I was afraid that the lenses would fall out. (They didn't fall out and they are now so comfortable, I hardly know I have them in.) Wed morning, I put my glasses on as usual and everything was a little blurry for both distance and up close. But I put my contacts in and went off to work. Thursday morning, same thing. By Friday, neither my contacts nor my glasses helped at all, and I could see quite clearly for distance. Went to Target and picked up a pair of cheap reading glasses so I could at least read. Yesterday and today, I didn't even need them. I was able to read today with no eye strain, and can read everything on the computer just fine.
Sorry for going on about this, but I've been wearing glasses for 20 some years, and contacts for a little over 10. Being able to see without either is exciting!! And, in case you didn't notice, I'm ecstatic!!!!!

I wish I were as brave as you to undergo an eye procedure, Yonuh. I have been wearing glasses since I was 8. A cumbersome thing. I am glad you have done away with it now.

Having recently gotten Lasik, I understand how amazing it is to not need glasses anymore. Good for you!

How much did it cost for the lenses? Is it something insurance would cover?

Wow, Yonuh, I love the quote at the end of your entries. What a beautiful philosophy!
I'm definitely going to look into the lens treatment as I have monovision. That would be the answer to prayer for me. I hate wearing cheaters. (Hate living with them too..lol)

Yonuh, congratulations. I didn't know about this procuedure. Hannelore, I hadn't heard about the blind people thingy either. I have to go clean my glasses and reread it.

That sounds really interesting. How does it work?
I got lasik a few years ago and LOVE not needing contacts or glasses any more.

I'll bet wearing the hard surfaced lens and the eyeball being mostly liquid or gel..forms to fit the shape of the lens overnight then goes back to its original form during the day..just a guess.

That is so interesting that the hard lenses work like that. If my eye sight starts to change again I'm going to check it out.
