My husband and I decided to live dangerously today

19. I understand.

While I was able to adjust well to contacts, I know that many others cannot.

Some years back I tried the thing that has one contact correcting for distance vision, the other for close vision. There's a name for it that I can't recall right now. For me, it was a disaster. Distance vision was wonderful, close was equally good, but the middle distance? The social distance? I could not see anything. I went to the library and I had to get so close to the books to read them that my nose was up against the books. Farther away where the print was in focus was too far to actually read. So I went back to my normal contacts and stayed with reading glasses.

I also had the problem of one eye being twice as bad as the other. I forget the exact numbers, but I'm going to say something like 20/400 in the right eye, 20/800 in the left. The disparity between the two mattered. But more to the point, in my case contact lenses worked very well, and cataract surgery has made my life wonderful. I am pretty sure it will be the same for you.
