Brian,

    I respect your input in this area. I so well know and love your
    wonderful Sterling Silver frames. What I find is that too many do
    not question their opthamologist in advance of surgery and have no
    clue what the correction will be. 

    Too many of the people nearing "senior" years were well taught to
    respect and not question their doctors. 

    The first reaction to the suggestion of surgery, is abject fear,
    followed by doom and gloom. As we can see from some of the comments
    put forth here, eye surgery is put too far on the back burner for far
    too long. 

    There are several issues now. In the last couple of years, a lens
    has been developed that adjusts for both near and far. I had my first
    eye done in advance of its accepted release, with the knowledge that
    I could have it changed out if I so chose. 

    When I spoke with my opthamologist about it, he suggested not to do
    so, telling me there were patients who had to deal with unacceptable
    glare 

    By coincidence I linked up via internet with a fellow coworker who
    was having the surgery. Her post surgery did not go as well as hoped
    for. I determined she had had the newest and most expensive implants.
    Yes the very ones that caused glare, and she was one of the minority
    that had the glare. That is not over yet. 

    My implants are now so well settled that to change them out is not
    advisable. 

    Again, I encourage bold communication with your opthamologist, not
    optometrist. Do not fear the procedure, and love the results.
    Monovision is not hard to adjust to. 

Terrie
