That certainly wasn't what I expected to hear at today's eye examination. My optometrist, Dr T, said they're just beginning and it could be years before I need surgery. On the other hand, after surgery, the new lenses would act like contact lens and my vision would improve.
I was shocked to learn that I haven't had an eye exam in seven years. Dr T said he can find no trace of glaucoma but as I have a higher than average chance of getting it he would like me to come in for the eye exam once a year.
They also took pictures of the inside of my eyeballs and I'm happy to report that my optic nerve and blood vessels are in tip top shape.
My myopic vision has deteriorated and as I have a policy of buying new frames every time I need new lenses I will be getting a pair of brand spanking new glasses. The lady who assisted me said, "These suit you. The grey frame matches your hair." I hope she's not getting a commission from the sale.

If these new glasses last seven years I will only be paying an average of $154.00 a year for them.
