Got good news on my eyes today

As some of you know I was told about a year ago that I had cataracts by an optometrist. Since my Obamacare didn't have any in network Opthamologists that performed surgery I couldn't do anything about it. My eyes have continued to deteriorate. I even have to blow up the text real big on the computer now. Today I saw the eye surgeon. I was there for four hours and had a bunch of tests done and then redone.

He told me I don't have cataracts and he thinks he can rehabilitate my vision without surgery. He said my corneas are warped, and that is causing my problems. I got a new prescription for glasses plus a bunch of eye drops. In a month I am getting hard contact lenses which he says should smooth out the distortions in my corneas (they are bumpy like a road marred with potholes) and hopefully give me crisp vision again.
Good for you!

Glad to hear Mal.
Good news!

Fantastic!
Excellent news! I hope the non-surgical treatments work.
Thanks everyone and I hope it can be fixed without surgery too. Not being able to see sucks. I can't drive at night and I suspect if I don't improve by the time my license comes up for renewal in November I won't be driving during the day either. I have been really bummed out I can't make gifs anymore.
Malibber, I hope that the treatment works out with fantastic results. Good luck!
Great to have some good news like this on the boards! Lets hope for a special 2015 for you
