I know it sounds kind of... well something... but I am hoping for enough vision to use my already accumulated stuff! I go in for my post cataract surgeries visit on December 10? to see how well I am healing and if I will be ready for contacts/additional vision correction. I think I will be able to drive again, have been off the roads since about May of this year. The cataract surgeries have helped a lot but didn't change my underlying condition. I'd say roughly that my no-contact vision right now is about where I was at with contacts in May and is so much better than the legally blind I've been since July.
I bought a (used) long arm last year just as my vision was tanking and we haven't set it up yet. That would be a grand present!!
