Pomtzu, I am already having the problem with not wearing them now. I see better without them and take them off, next thing I know I am reaching for them again and putting them back on! They are on and off every 3 minutes. I too, have wore them most of my life. I think getting use to not having them is going to be a big problem for me too.

I was real tempted to get those new implanted lens that have the far away and close up vision and not have to wear any glasses but they are $2000 EACH and insurance don't cover those.. LOL! I asked if I could get one this year and come back next year and get the other one but she said it confuses the brain to much... my brain is confused enough without adding to it.

I can't wait. They said this has happened slowly over the years so I do not realize the colors and things I am missing. Since this will happen and will be cleared up so fast, I will be amazed at what I have missed, especially with colors. This has me more excited than Christmas and the idea of the pain being gone (from eye strain) has me ecstatic!

Thank all of you for your well wishes! I can use all of them I can get.
