well i brought the surgery on myself. i am near legal blind without glasses,
so for years i have worn contacts. the problem with that is they don't tell
you that over time the veins in your eye enlarge to compensate for the lack
of oxygen to the cornea. as a result, they grow to supply blood to your eye,
over time this can blind you. i went in for a simple prk to correct my
vision and remove a scratch that has not healed (prk is when they use a
laser to effectively scrap the surface of your eye ...like a sander to re
shape it ) unfortunately the laser somehow pierced my eye and effectively
burst it(picture a pin and a balloon) so to repair it they removed the lense
from inside my eye, put in a replacement and stitched a plastic lense on top
of it to support the eye. this of course blinds you. in my case they did the
right eye first and the left eye second...that was the one with the problem.
so i can hardly see. i can't go outside as the light hurts and the freaking. I am told by my dr that i will recover to better han 20/20, in time.....
so before you start wearing contacts, or get surgery. think about my experience
