I saw an optometrist at the end of October after a long time. I had been relying on my opthalmologist for years as I go there to check my cataract annually. However, the optometrist has more time to do a thorough eye exam as opposed to a specific check. My prescription had changed slightly so I decided to get new eyeglasses and sunglasses. The sunglasses weren't even progressive lenses before. I figure it had been at least 11 years since I changed eyeglasses. It was time.
I had been removing my old eyeglasses a lot for reading and now with the new prescription I don't have to! My life has improved in a small way! The optometrist also had more time for questions. He told me I was not a candidate for laser eye surgery with the cataract, I had always wondered about that although I never considered that surgery. If and when the time comes I would get new 'lenses' put inside the eye which would give me perfect eyesight. They always do both eyes to equalize your vision.
