Eye surgery was not an option for me anymore. It was a have to thing. I could not even read the large E at the top of the eye chart with the left eye and many road signs were coming across as double vision. A 35 MPH speed limit sign at night would come across to me as 335 MPH and on the turnpike the 75 MPH sign would read 750 MPH.
Never had an opportunity to use the “not my fault” excuse to a cop or trooper though.
Surgery helped me quite a bit although I still have some irritation in both eyes. Optometrist says it’s a little rough around the incision in one spot but will clear up PDQ. Overall, I’m good with it. Doc said last week that at this point my vision is 20/20 and getting even better. Even he was surprised a bit.
