I wear readers today, can barely can't thread a hook w/o em.
By the time I was 13 I was wearing glasses. Into my later teens
and 20s contacts. W/o glasses, I navigated with sound, LOL, like
a bat.
FFW to about 26 years old, wife's father passed and left us some
money, and we decided I would get RK (Radial Keratotomy), before
laser was available.
20-20 and 20-15 depending on the day from there until I hit my
mid-late 40s, when readers began being needed. I'd do RK or
lasik any and every day of the week. Soooo nice to have.
