Catnapper, I can relate. My eyesight is not very good. My glasses are thick and they are even made of a special material to make them thin!!! I don't even want to think how thick the lenses would be if not made of that special material.
My eyesight is -11/-12. I walk the fine line of being legally blind. Very scary.
I can see big signs like Exits, speedlimit signs, ect. okay, but street signs? Bah. Forget it. Daylight or Nighttime, I usually end up driving past the street I need and having to turn around.
When trying to find a place, I'm that person that everyone hates to be behind.
I also have 'floaters' in my eyes. I've gotten used to the black fuzzies that sometimes mar my eyesight.
I've looked into Lasik eye surgery (my parents both had it done and no longer wear glasses except sometimes at night), but my cornea is too thin. If they were to cut it they'd likely blind me permanently.
Every now and then I get real down, but then I'm thankfull for the sight I do have. Hold on to that.
And plus, you may not be able to see your daughter real well, but she can see you. I'm sure she's so happy that you are there.
