Well, it’s done. I now have artificial vision. I noticed almost immediately that my vision without glasses was clearer than it had been since I was in fourth grade. Colors were truer. Everything is still out of focus but not as out of focus as it used to be.
My old prescription is now completely obsolete and it will be a month before it makes any sense to get a new one. Following my ophthalmologist’s instructions I purchased a pair of “cheaters” from Amazon. They’re not perfect but they give me hope that my vision will be easily correctible.
So, now reading is difficult and driving impossible. This will be the longest time I’ve been unable to drive since when I worked in Germany more than 50 years ago. I didn’t drive at all when I was there—I didn’t need to.
I’m only able to type this post because I’m a touch typist. At my high school you had to pass a touch typing test to graduate. Thank you, SLUH.
Welcome back, Dave.
If you lived in Florida and you were like your neighbors you would still drive. The old folks down there seem to believe that driving is a God given right and poor vision or dementia shouldn’t stop them.
