Blue Nettles

Well, I finally did it. My frustration over the years of having to use reading glasses even for the most simple of tasks like putting a screwdriver in the slot, drove me to do something about it. I know the history of the "Blue eyes" You have all been wearing glasses nearly all of your life. I started searching the web for Lasik surgery and came across a technique called CK.( Conductive Keratoplasty) It uses radio waves to reshape your cornea and to bring your focal point back to when you were 18. A looooong time ago. I had my eyes mapped out and found my right eye is a little stronger so my left eye got the treatment. I now have MONOVISION. My left eye for close work and my right eye for long distance. The actual procedure was only 7 minutes and Max cracked up when I started reading the fine print on the water bottle on the way home. The first 2 days was like I had grit in my eyes and now, a week later Its bloody fantastic. No more glasses!!! After 30 days all of the effects will be over and my brain will be trained to switch between the short and long distances. This procedure will last, at my age, about 3 years and by then my cornea will reform to its origional shape. Then I get to do it over again. CHARLIE, your posting about the wonderful world is so true. Max and I watch the Food Network as it is the only thing on TV that is upbeat and positive. There are a lot of good people and good things in life. Why do so many people focus on the negative. News reporting is way over the top and hopefully there doomsday is just around the corner. The rest of us will just keep smiling and keep the wind at our back. Whitey
